In-game calendar?

I understand. What I was trying to say was that if the game has it wrong, then the real calender is useless for determining those times in the game.

You lazy swabbie. No shore leave for you!

Was just starting new patrol and the date in game Apr. 3 1941 is a Thursday.

www.timeanddate.com confirms this.

The game itself recognizes calendar days with war years and with no problems.

In short SH3 owns calendar days correctly by time, but Calendar itself is not accessable to the player.

Sorry if I expressed myself poorly. I realize the game has the correct days for the dates. I was speaking only of the sun and moon rise/set times, a feature of SH1 that they've managed to get rid of, and nothing else. If the sun and moon don't rise and set at the correct times, then having a real calendar with those times is useless.

Have I been clear enough yet?

I followed you, and yes, that would be useful. Perhaps I should get into mods? I'd probably end up with a headache from all of this, though:

I use calendar to count days of the month, not to follow sunrise/sunsets.

On the USNavy's CelNav page:

Check it out. It'll give you Sun/Moon Rise/set times/dates (even during the War years) and a lot more.
