maybe a similar effect is at play close to the arctic circle up north

then again, maybe this is just another problem in their old gfx engine (presuming Moskow is to far south to be affected by the phenomena i described)



Its exactly how you describe it here, close to the arctic circle, in Sweden. And, if im not mistaken, the "classic" bright red sunsets is due to modern pollution in the air more than anything and the degree of pollution vary depending on where one lives. California is a famous example. That level of pollution simply doesn't exist here.
