I must just play with the the sunrise/set moonrise/set times and game clock.
If you can fix this, I will be, frankly, amazed. I'm very curious how you're going to do a "look up" for the values needed to accurately predict these times based on what data? I don't think there is a ephemeral table in SH4... It could be done by rote calculation but the game clock is certainly *weird* in SH4 so those calculations would have to be tweaked...

Normally you'd need at least on longitude fix to get the correct time and hour offset to correct for UT. A latitude fix will determine the moon and sun azimuth.

Don't get me wrong, I hope you have great success. I've always hated being off the coast of Japan and still in darkness at 11:30 AM, etc...

Cheers.
