Last night I set up FS2002 to be in Anchorage (ANC) at 11:45pm local time and the sun was down and it was dark.

Now I never been to Alaska in real life, but I thought places in the northern latitudes like Alaska or Finland the sun stays up for almost 24 hours during the summer months. Did microsoft forget this? Or is it to hard to program this effect?

My dad was there...he says the sun sets so late.
