Now lets cross over the Time Zone lines and observe how the clocks change. We can also do some time-speed-distance calculations to see if we believe the clocks are accurate.

If you squint you can see the 1° grid dots on the map. The spacing is 120 km and the Screen Time measures the same in both directions and is unaffected by the Time Zone line located midjourney. TSD gives 14.2 knots consistent with the screen shots.

The Mouse Time jumped +1 hours when crossing East and jumped -1 hours when crossing West. It is behaving like a local time should. And it matches what we observe above when the game loads the missions.

So far our best theory is the Screen Time is the GMT and the Mouse Time is the Zone Time and the Mouse Date is the Date of GMT. We can use Time-Speed-Distance and perform Dead Reckoning. Most of us know that the SH3 world is flat and 1° is 120 km and the shortest distance between two points is a line.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this theory of the game clocks...until you attempt celestial navigation.
