Clock Display

If possible, a digital clock display of your PC's time in the lower right hand corner during the game. This might help reduce some wife and girlfriend ACK because you played past some important time.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Yes, but those require you to take your eyes off the screen and/or your hands off the controls...

Unless you are only upping from a vulched field, most people prolly spend anywhere from 1/4, 1/2 of their time ingressing or egressing to or from the enemy...I'm sure you could spare 10 seconds of auto climb to look at a clock:aok

I like this idea.
Make the clock display optional, the position moveable, and the font size/color customizable while you are at it please.

Buy a cheapo clock/watch, trim all the unnecessary parts, set/stick it next to the monitor...

My cell phone sits in front of my keyboard. Pretty easy to keep track of time. Works for staging tower missions as well.

I have used this little application at work and it stays on top of pages and is movable with reminders etc.
Will it stay on top of AH? Dunno.
Check it out. You can time things, it tells time, counts down to a certain time...very flexible and free.

All planes have clocks in them... I wish they were synchronised to your computers time, though. They're pretty much useless right now.

I believe they are/were set to HTC time for a while (back in the beginning days). However, that time is dedicated to arena-world time so that 12:00 is Noon......sun directly above. There is some bit of realism in that, don't you agree?  ;)

How about you hit Ctrl-T and the pilots arm comes up and you look at his wristwatch?
...but not a digital wristwatch pleeeeeese -  :P
