Especially weekdays are really hard to arrange. I'm in Finland, EST +6 hours, so a start time of something like 5-7pm EST would be ok for me, as well as most other europeans I believe. I'm not sure if that would suit the US west coast people, though...

I hope we can work it out!

Welcome to "The Joy of Event Scheduling!!!"

Its been my experience that it is literally impossible to schedule a weekday event that satisfies both Euro's and West Coasters.

The only thing I have found that works is weekend (Sat or Sun) during the early afternoon hours.

Please use GMT time the original one i'm +1

02:30 will be too especialy when i have too start woark at 0600 next week i will be working at that time and the week after that it's ok

Anyway please use GMT times it's i believe called ZULU time too (not sure)

U can find ur own GMT time at icq i believe it's more official as those other time types

Dinger · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2000, 02:44:00 PM »

Just to clarify:
CST = Central Standard Time = GMT - 6
CDT = Central Daylight Time = GMT - 5

Until Oct 29, we're on DST, and Zigrat is referring to Central Time in general, not CST.
WET (Western European Time) is GMT + 1, but with DST (in most places till Oct. 29 as well) it's GMT + 2
7 hours difference.
So 19:30 CDT = 02:30 in western europe, 01:30 in the UK, and 03:30 EET.

Anyway very chaotic

Where do they get the term daylight or central time?
central off what?

Anyway GMT is easier too understand also it's reason off being there

Or you could just use the timezone converter link that is here:

It makes it much simpler and removes the confusion.

wolf37 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 10, 2000, 05:09:00 PM »

hi all:

for those on the west coast, start time is 5:30 pm
for those on the east coast, I think it is 7:30 or 8:30 pm
for those in the middle, pick a time, I am in Alberta, my start time is 6:30pm

I know, I am not much help to everybody, but those in BC now know what time to start.

I looked forward to flying a G6 against Spits, Jugs, and Lightnings. But how did we end up with things like...
Allies getting 50% faster AC and pilot replacement?
Typhoons?
Heavy bombers for the Allies?
No Spit Vs for the allies.
This "scenario" seems silly. Do the allies need these advantages?
I didnt know the Axis would be severly handy capped when I accepted a squadron command Zig.
I can think of no reason why any of the above decisions where made.

Dinger · « **Reply #29 on:** October 10, 2000, 06:21:00 PM »

What Zig said. The start time is 19:30 CDT, 00:30 GMT, 20:30 EDT, 17:30 Pacific Time, 1:30 in UK, and 02:30 in Western Europe.
