I still have the old astronomy program Celestia installed, so we can post night sky photo's back and forth in this topic, or discuss a useful mini-mod.... lol. At one time in my life I wanted to earn my Graduate degree, my pipe dream of a PhD in Geography, so I do understand these things.

Maybe it would be easier to just send you an edited Help.cfg file - It has the times for the sun, the moon, and the phases. This info is useful in planning attacks, and performing recons, supply drops, etc

Right, .... in Alaska's northern latitudes it should be dark in the winter and daylight in the summer, but of course in-game that is not how it is. It is your 'flat sheet' world.

Someone named greyrider made a mod called, "Combat Information Center". In it were the tables for sunrise & sunset, moon-rise & moon-set, and the moon phases, all tables from 1941-1945.

I added greyrider's tables to my Help.cfg so by rights, greyrider should get the credit for all the work involved in transcribing the Almanac's and adding them to the Help.cfg file. All I did was to personalize the Help file for my setup.

- Dates and times of moon phases 1941-1945.
- Moon nautical almanac, rise and set times for the moon
- sun nautical almanac, rise and set times for the sun

Let me know if you want to look at it.

:har:

Seriously, I'm not surprised the game gets most of this wrong. If they couldn't be bothered to do the subs' batteries right, why would we expect peripheral elements to be done well.
