watchers under the sea + dawn at 12:00

[skogkatt]

Hi,

First I'm new here, so just say if I'm posting in the wrong place...

I'm using GWX mod (installed on fresh SH3 v1.4), and have noticed two strange things.

First, the sun rises around 12 o'clock, and get down at 21:00 while patrolling in the channel area, in february 40. Is there a way to correct this?

Second thing : I saved a game while under sea (periscope depth). When I load it again, the crew is watching from the tower (can see them also in external view). Fun to see, but I'd like to know if it's a known bug, and if there's a way to correct it.

Thanks for your help,

Skogkatt

Yes it is.

Just order one more time "periscope depth", or "maintain depth".

Hi,

move your mouse on the Time (lower right screen) after a secondyou will see the actual time in this area. the standard time in your clock is alwas the german time (GMT+1)

Hmm. I thought it was always GMT (Zulu) time. Either way the fact still holds: SHIII reproduces time zones, but the main clock doesn't change. Nipplespanner is right: holding the cursor over the clock will give you the correct local time.

Hi and welcome. I recommend you don't save whilst submerged as you are asking for trouble !

[skogkatt]

Thanks all for your replies. It' s nice to see an active community!

Ok, I won't save submerged any more

And I'll have a look a the clock tonight. About time zones, where they the same during the war as today (except the daylight saving that was introduce in 1976)?

Well, from memory (and I am getting old ), historically all U-boote operated on Berlin time no matter where they were operating.

How the game (or GWX) handles can be better explained by others...

Checked, and as today, there's one hour difference between Berlin and London... So in GMT Time, in the channel, in january 1940, I have daylight from approx. 11 to 20.

This shift is a bit annoying, since I like to know if it'll be day or night when I reach my target. Anyway, I guess I have to get used to it.

Thanks all for your input.
