Request: Option to turn off Lens Flare

You're so used to seeing images of the sun that way though. The hazy aura can be attributed to mist of some form, but those pentagonal splotches mid-screen have no other explanation.

As for the OP, I agree. If nothing else, because it ruins the visibility of a gorgeous world (and situational awareness, as well).

I agree. Just do it the way it works for human eyes, instead of the way it works for video camera lenses. Get rid of lens flare.

Agreed. They definitely shouldn't. It needs to be sun glare, though, not lens flare (which refers to a style of visual effect, not a level of intensity).

Lens flare and sun glare are different things!

So far nobody in this thread has actually disagreed. Everyone who's meant "lens flare" has wanted it gone. Everyone who's meant "sun glare" has wanted to keep it. Gotta keep in mind that they aren't the same thing.

Sun glare, no lens flare. Thanks Intrepid!
