Environmental info?

I am coming back to SH3/GWX after a long absence of playing AOD/SHCE/SC/DW.

I know that I can get weather from the WO and the current date with a mouse rollover.

Is there anyway to get sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset/moonstate information for the current calendar date?

If not, is there a published chart somewhere and which is accurate to the game at various coordinates?

Thanks.

The output looks something like this:

There are charts for the moonrise etc. Somebody took the time to make these.
PM me your e-mailaddress and I'll send to you, or do a search on this forum. Look for "Moon Phases Sun rise and set for 1939 to 1945.pdf".
