Hi mihkeltt,

just tested now, 1970 works, and like Spearhead, sun 'exist' starting from 1700 (it was really cold in earth before, wow, lol ;)) and the limit in the future is 2199.

Enventually is the Latitude and Longitude wrong ?

Tested on Mac OSX 10.2.6/C4D 8.1

nice day - jddog

Why this question?
All you really need is 24 hour?

Actually the coordinates of the sun are not the same from one year to another. i don´t know the accuracy of the c4d sun but since there is a a calendar this must have been maxons idea.

Maybe a maxon official who sees this could give a proper answer?
