Just a quick question as I've probably over looked the setting, but how do I decrees the size of the suns corona which in Terragen 0.9.43 was just a matter of going to  Lighting Conditions > Sun's Appearance and adjusting the slider, what is the method to do this in TG2 I did a search before posting but nothing came up and would think that other people would like to know as well.

Regards to you.

There is currently no *direct* control over the corona size for individual light sources. You can of course control the disc size and adjust whether atmospheric glow is enabled or not and the glow size and strength is proportional to the brightness of the light source, which is also adjustable. If you want to adjust this relative response, you can use the "Haze Glow Amount" and "Haze Glow Power" controls in the Atmosphere to affect glow "size" and "strength" for all light sources. There may be more sophisticated controls for individual light sources in the future (e.g. separate size and strength) but for now it's more of a globally controlled phenomenon (which strictly speaking is generally more realistic).

I am also missing the TG 0.9.43 corona settings.

I have fiddled around with the glow amount and glow power but have not achieved the desired results.
Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast.

You can adjust the sun's disc size by increasing "Angular Diameter" under the Visible Disc checkbox at the bottom of the sunlight settings area. Keep in mind that the sun disc is currently a fairly simple implementation and it may not always have the desired effect.
