During the course of my 1x patrol i have run across a problem i have not heard of ever before with SH3.
Here is the scenario...
today at around 7 pm i noticed my interior lights switch from red to white light. We were in a massive storm and i noticed it was rather dark outside. Thought it might have something to do with the storm, or the reduction of the storm's severity. i didnt give it another thought even though i thought this was strange.
the fact is it was about to turn night time in the game and in Real life so if anything the lights should have gone from white to red...
but thats not the problem...
i poked my head out the conning tower and got a bigger surprise when this nasty weather cleared...
The clock shows 0043 hours... local time shows 2343 hours - essentially midnight...
but the sun is shining directly overhead in a beautiful clear sky!
and i dont mean a bright sky like you might find in extreme northern regions at night. Im talking about it is high freakin noon in arizona on a high pressure day! :huh: and the sun is directly overhead.
though the clock says 0043 (midnightish)... i think SH3 is messed up and is thinking it is 1243 (noonish)
somehow during the course of my 1x patrol... the physical day/night cycle seems to be 180 degrees out of synch with the clock day night cycle.
any ideas???
i saved, exited the game, opened up the save and it is the same problem.
the good news is... Im about 7 and a half hours from intercepting a large convoy. assuming SH3 is not stuck on noon and the sun will continue to move throughout the day i will be intercepting the convoy right about night fall.... at 8:00am . uhhhhhh... right
i just wonder if the units will respond as if it is night? or if they will act as if it is day? irregardless of whether or not the sun and clock disagree hmmmm
this could get interesting
