INVITATION: For Silent Hunter fans everywhere

Graf Paper · 03-26-09, 01:48 PM

As far as the time by zones in the U.S., they work out like this:

Pacific Time: 2:00 PM (GMT -8)
Mountain Time 3:00 PM (GMT -7)
Central Time 4:00 PM (GMT -6)
Eastern Time 5:00 PM (GMT -5)
Atlantic Time 6:00 PM (GMT -4)

Since the server is based in Ireland, all times given for scheduled events and games are given in U.K. local time (GMT +0).

I'm getting wound up for this already. It going to be a lot of fun!

Iv'e never used teamspeak. This uses a microphone? How does it work so that everybody doesn't all talk at the same time?

You'll first want to verify that the UK is on Daylight Savings Time. Recently, the US entered the same...

For example... most of the year the time difference between GMT and US Central Standard Time is 6 hours... but lately it has been 5 hours.

Well i would absolutely love to do this, but i don't own a micrphone.

i might have to sneak out and buy one before Sunday.

GMT goes forward +1 hour on Sunday morning (29th March) at 02:00 GMT

Spot on Jim

We never Considered that,,
Noted,Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up on that time change, Kpt. Lehman. You're a good man!

Since owner lives in Ireland, I rely on him for that information in regards to local times. Ben Franklin should have lost points with St. Peter when he came up with the hare-brained idea of Daylight Savings Time!

SOOoooo.....

Will this mean the times are all bumped ahead or back one hour?

Yep, 02.00 hours will be 03.00 so one hour less to sleep.

IMHO I suggest you get a headset with a boom mic. Very inexpensive these days; I use a Labtec LVA 8550. Flying, we found a boom mic produces clear speech. When using a regular microphone background noise however small, can cause issues.

Playing a sim with headset produces IMHO an incredible experience with surround sound more immersive. I have the Logitech 5 speakers and the rumble box on the floor but prefer my SONY headset.

(I wonder if anyone uses Skype? I have that and use it for international conversation and it works well and is free.)

Just checking back to see how the get together went. I am hoping some brilliant ideas came out of this?
