Hello all,
I have a small suggestion regarding the environment of the game. The current times for sunset and -rise, as well as the length of dusk and dawn is at present quite inaccurate.
For example, in the "Return to St Vith" scenario, sunrise is at 0800, dawn begins at 0700, and it is full day at 0900. The sun sets at 1700, dusk starts at 1600, and it is night after 1800. However, in reality, on the 5th of January morning civil twilight begins in that area at 0756, sunrise is at 0833, sunset is at 1649, and evening civil twilight ends at 1725. I know that I seem like a total nerd, but I admit that the "generic" timings make me a bit unhappy.
If the game engine permits, I would think that the implementation of accurate timings for sunrise etc. would give the game a bit more realism, which we all are looking for (and would give a beginner like me some more hours of darkness to move my troops around ).
Of course, I'm willing to make the necessary contribution and work the times for sunrise etc. out and hand them over to someone who knows how to implement them.
Best regards,
Cepheus
