Docking with a resupply sub

T.Von Hogan · 11-11-07, 04:29 PM

I've noticed that when i rearm from either U460 or U461 when i restart my sunrises have shifted east by a couple time zones. never noticed this before

Unless you use SH3 Commander, docking with a resupply sub is the same as docking at your base, meaning when you restart after your resupply, a couple of weeks have passed. Useing SH3 Commander, you could edit the time spent at the resupply sub to one day or so. I hope this helps.

I do use sh3Commander and have refuel time set for 1 day. That is why i noticed the difference. Was diving at a specific time before refueling and the sun was up for better than an hr and a half the next day at the time i was diving.

I think that´s ShIII giving you a random starting time every time you load the game from base. No matter were the base is or what time you docked, the game gives you a random starting time when you load the In base before mission file.

I always log the sun rise and set times and plan my voyage/attacks accordingly. But does SH3 really simulate all the timezones and seasons of the year.

For example I did notice in September up in the Orkneys the sun was setting very late around 22:00 and rises very early, not much night time. I guess thats the way it happens in RL.

My question is, above the arctic circle will it be full bright in the summer and full dark in the winter? (I'm not sure I have that correctly but in the book I'm reading the British postpone the convoys into Murmansk until Winter after the PQ17 disaster..)

Lately I have been sent to the area around Cuba .... time is their time but my clock will still read my time...... mouse over it and it'll tell you " local time " which will be the time zone you are in ( in other words my time will say 07:00 but the time zone I am in is actually 01:00 and several hours before sun up ) ...... don't know about the artic seasons ...

In my current patrol just north of Scotland in June 1940 it's not getting completely dark. At midnight its just dull with fairly good visibility. So I would say yes, the arctic summers/winters of 24 hours of daylight/darkness are modelled in SH3. I use GWX by the way, but not sure if this makes a difference to this aspect of the sim.
