wonky time re: sunset sunrise
 

Was the time of sunsets and sunrise not corrected? I thought it was. It is disconcerting to surface at 22.00 to find it it is full sunlight Is there a work around for this bug other than keep a look out for the change in interior lighting.

Note the time in these pics and where the sun is.

Even today, boats run off a standard time and do not change their clocks as they pass from one time zone to another. Avoids confusion when sending / receiving orders with boats scattered all over the deep blue sea. They will have a seperate clock for local time as a reference, but operational orders are exchanged using the std time.

ya what the others said. It would be really confusing crossing the international date line

Thanks SWDW - that info is most helpful. I take back my inference to a bug:oops:

Actually we do change the time from time zone to time zone. However, clocks on equipment and timestamps on message traffic go by "Zulu" time, which is GMT.

Edit: re-read your post and I see you had the gist of it, my bad. :oops:

That same thing happened in SH3 - you should have read the comments from people patrolling the American coast after setting sail from Kiel!:rotfl:

True, but in SH3, if you held the mouse pointer over the time display, it would pop up a tooltip in the center bottom of the screen that displayed local time. In SH4, the popup is still there but both are displaying base time, rather than one showing home and one showing local time.

Not always. On return from Japan to Pearl, my game must've glitched because the sun started coming up at about 0400hrs. By the time I'd reached home port, it was rising close to midnight.

:hmm: I chalked it up to a momentary brown-out and a poor recovery by my UPS. But who knows.
