The moon is obviously a flat disk, not a rotating sphere.

If you don't like what you hear, suggest a better way of modelling the Moon in FET.

Wel that's the real trick, isn't it? There is no proper way to model the Moon in FET.

Or you could accept the working solutions for RE?

Just because neither you nor I can come up with one doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and since the Earth is flat there must be a solution.

You can see the other bits of the moon because the weather system on the moon is not perfectly transparent.

Seriously! What are you talking about now? Weather systems on the moon... I have never heard of this before, and for a good reason most likely. Please enlighten me.

Part of the problem is that I find it difficult to accept FE references for confirming FE concepts. I really don't see how it can be considered valid information or a reliable source. It's kind of like how religious types claim that the bible is the word of god because the bible says so. A wide range of references beyond FES links and "Earth not a globe" are really required for developing a strong argument. 

Most flat earth believers would not expect you to accept flat earth references with which you disagree.  Consideration of flat earth concepts with an open mind is enough.

And actually a round moon does cause a problem for FET, as if the moon was moving around the earth at the close distance you say it is, someone looking at the moon from Britain would see a different part of it to someone looking at it from Canada. Assuming the moon is directly over the atlantic at the time of observation.

Hmmm, nobody in the entire history of civilisation has so far come up with a theory that fully describes every observation of the Moon - except for the simple one proposed by the round earthers - that the Moon is a large sphere, very far away, that orbits a spherical earth, which in turn orbits the Sun at an even greater distance. Funny how that one sentence there provides an explanation for phases, eclipses, libration, tides, appearance of features on the Moon - everything.
Saying "There must be a solution because the earth is flat" is circular logic. If there doesn't appear to be a solution in your scenario, then maybe there isn't one.

Don't forget to factor in bendy light. It would seem you're thinking of the model as if the line of observation to the moon made a triangle reaching the side of it.
