Default question

Hey. I would like to ask from you to where you can change the time of sunrise and sunset in the program?

The clock is always set to 'Base Time'. Local time was available in SH3, but not SH4. Since they are basically the same, it might be buried in there somewhere. All you really need to know is how many time zones you are from Pearl Harbor to find the local time. You can't do this in-game, but there are plenty of maps available which show time zones.

It's a pity that did not solve the problem, because as strange as it gets up to 10 o'clock and 22 o'clock in the day when the sun sets. This is, to be adopted in the program.

Thanks for your response!

Default Time Zones

Time zones can get confusing. I use this web site

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...p10=&p11=&p12=

to input my base location. If it is not listed I use a city or country in the same time zone as my base.
Then I input the area ( city, or country that is listed ) that I am patrolling and calculate the difference in time. Hope it helps.

We need 2 chronos like in real navigation

Thanks for the advice, I have came across this website. :-)

I really only afflict the SH3 works out to a base period and the time difference in time zones, I do not know why this part has failed to do so.

In SH4 as soon as I reach open sea I draw a vertical line at 180 - the date line, from near the top of the chart/map to near the bottom - then 7.5 degrees each side of the 180 line I draw two more vertical lines, then every 15 degrees from the 7.5 lines, I draw vertical lines.

Since every 15 degrees is one hour time difference, it is easy to calculate real time from base time. This is useful for timing an attack, timing when sunrise or sunset will happen etc - converted from base time.

I added the sunrise, sunset, moon rise, moon set, and moon phases into my Help file - they occupy 3 pages of helpful information in-game at the touch of a F key.

Happy Hunting!
