We also want the sun. Please, give us this modification.

Here is a kind of flare effect: (also notice background stars are more variated) I could make video too, kind of cool traveling out of the atmosphere looking at the sun changing brightness. Sirius and Toliman Binary system :

I can't find it. It is inside of EXE?
