No more in-game nights on Friday prime time.

[Devil 505]

Friday nights are typically the peak activity in the MA from week to week, but that potential action is severely choked when the game clock rolls into night time.

I propose coding a condition into the game clock that once a map first begins, the game clock is set so that if it were to stay up until prime time Friday, that 9PM EST Friday is 12:00 noon on the game clock.

Yeah you can see fights die off, and the logged in and inflight numbers drop big time when dark rolls around.

Last night after FSO I logged on to see... Dusk. Once again! I swear it just knows when I log on and immediately gets dark! Total BS. If it went from 10AM to 2PM and back forever that'd be fine with me! Personally I've probably spent a crazy high percentage of what few flying hours I get anymore in near or total darkness. It's one of the few things that truely grinds my gears about this game. Nice feature to have available for certain situations and it looks cool but I've had enough of it.

It does seem to be dark more than light these days.... for some reason.

Because. 2020.

But seriously this is a great suggestion, reset the time to favor the bigger fights in daytime!

...so placement of the sun/stars is affected by time of year.  Never thought about it, but is the shorter days actually modeled?  If so, LOL!

I don't think so.... they don't model shorter pilots.... sooooo

Yes, the in game sky reflects the current state of the sky in relation to the Earth. Specifically, default center coordinates of the terrains are the same as Texas. Terrain designers can select a different center point.

Right.  And it seems the system goes by when the sun disappears from the west side of the map to reset to dawn, so that means we get the same amount of time in "dusk", but more often then.

And the Sun is at a lower angle in the sky at all times of an in-game day.

...  the moon in in the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars....

Oh wait, never mind.

[hitech]

Jupiter just aligned with Saturn last week

Bumping this wish.

9:30 PM on a Friday and it's night time in the MA. Can't see a damn thing. Excellent gameplay for primetime...
