What about proper time in game?

[OuNiS]

Look at this:



Local time is 12:31 time is 5:31.
12:31 and no sun on the sky? (weather: partial cloudy, wind: 4 m/s)

What local time means? Time in Germany (Berlin) or time on patrol position?
I think there's a huge bug with it.
At 12:31 with this wheater condition there should be a very nice sunny day, not dark like in Berlin at 5:31 morning!

I've not been out of the North Sea yet, but I think Local Time is adjusted for the time zone. The clock is GMT, AFAIK.

So, looking at GMT 05:31 and Local Time 12:31, you are 7 hours ahead of GMT, somewhere in the Arctic Ocean? I'm basing that on September -- heading into winter -- and the fact that there is little sun at 12:31 where you are. Or perhaps you are in the Southern Ocean, where September would be just heading out of winter, and thus the darkness at noon?

Cant say ive ever noticed any bugs with it, the time on the clock is "german" time the local time is dictated by your current longitude, roughly +/- an hour for every 15 degrees i think.

Note: in game at extreme latitudes its quite posible to have no sunrise at all, just as in reality.

Nope. Actually south of Singapore about 7 km from port. East of Berlin.
And it is interesting. Hours seems to be ok, but no visible_time_of_day.

Singapore is GMT+8. Berlin is GMT+1. So, Singapore is Berlin+7, which explains the time/localtime you are seing.

As to why it is so dark -- I guess it's the weather. Latitude should not be a factor for it....

Edit: Mind you -- STARS due to weather?? That does look like a bug then -- the game is showing you the time of day for Berlin, not Singapore :]

It's not a point.
There is a night on the picture (...before dawn (IMMOLATION!) ), but a local time is 12:31 or noon, middle of the day!

Which? Latitude or weather?

Latitude could still explain this if you were near the North and South Pole, but as you point out you are NOT at extreme latitude.

Weather could not explain the fact that the stars are out
