Built next after pull of flightgear and fgdata at 2026-06-20 23:50

Local time was about 8:15 PM

By 8:39, the clouds were primarily black.  Changing the time affects the
flickering: The flickering appears at Dawn, but is not apparent at Morning
or Noon.  It was barely visible with the afternoon setting, but is most
prominent at Dusk. It becomes almost invisible at Evening, and the entire
screen is black at night.  see 2026-0620 20-39.mp4
