That didnt really answered my question.

But it does.
The sun does rise and set, contrary to what is written in the main faq.
Here is the global Piri Reis map with latitudes:
(http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/Graphics-Other/PSCI/pirireis2.gif)
Rotate the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn by 23.5 degrees, and we get the upper and lower bounds for the orbit of the Sun on a flat earth.
It rises from beyond Japan and illuminates at least half of the entire surface (not a spotlight sun at all), and sets somewhere beyond Antarctica (just like in the Black Sun photographs taken by F. Bruenjes).
Then, it rises again to complete its orbit over the other half of the semicircle (approximately).
This is the correct description for the Sun's orbit on a Flat Earth, the one that should be included in the official FAQ.
The most important part of the Sun's orbit is its precession (the westward shift of 1.5 km/year).
Now, the word "sets" needs careful consideration, depending on which part of the year we are talking about.

The depth to which the Sun reaches the towards the shores beyond Antarctica differs according to season, of course, as can be seen in these videos.

It really doesn't answer the question !!!!!
And if the sun is always 3000 miles above the earth ?
And if the sun orbits the earth - sort of like a light track rack ?
THEN
How does the sun get as low as it does in the videos ?
And if the sun gets as low as it does in the videos and if the sun is a spotlight how does it shine on the earth ?
AND
One of the flat earth statements is that the sun just gets so far away in the distance it just fades away in the distance ?
THEN
Why don't the videos show this ?
-
The 3000 mile distance to the sun, the 32 mile diameter sun, the spotlight sun data is incorrect.
You should worry much more about the faint young sun paradox, the end of the line for the RE hypothesis.

Simple question never got an answer to.
Simple answer:
There are no sunsets on a flat earth because there is no flat earth.
There are sunsets on a round earth because there is a round earth.

Simple answer:
There are no sunsets on a flat earth because there is no flat earth.
There are sunsets on a round earth because there is a round earth.
I'm sure you know why this isn't a valid argument.

Wait, what's that?

Well...The whole flat earth isn't a valid argument. How can you have a valid argument about something that doesn't exist ?

The earth is flat.
