Title: Working Clock?
Post by: Goob on March 19, 2000, 05:45:00 PM

<S> All-

Although I don't expect to see it for some time if at all, I wanted to suggest how squeaking it would be (squeaken even  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) if the clocks in planes worked (ie. coresponded to the time on our computers). That way I wouldn't have to alt-tab to find out what time it is... kinda takes away from the experience, knowm sayn?

I've wondered the same thing. We would have a reference on exactly how long the ack would be down at a field right there in the plane.

I had asked the following on the gameplay area.

The clock is a nice addition to the cockpits over other brands. I realize it is the "game clock". However, I'd like an option to use it as a real-time system clock without having to look around for my watch or alt-tabbing to the desktop. Give us a dot command: ".clock system", ".clock server" or some other type of toggle.
For bombers, how about a stop watch variation?

That's a great idea.  I like it.  Seems to me that it would be pretty easy to do, but what do I know.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (It is in c at least.)
