with the new PT and weather we have that.

#

or at least a version of it

#

you can dynamicly change the time of day. and also i heard you will be able to speed up time so it passes more quickly. like a full day and night cycle.

you can change the time and let it run until it does a full day and night.

#

but right now its 1 to 1 time.
i heard mention of getting an option to speed that up

oh?

#

im not familiar with that. could you elaborate?

hardy vault
#

as the earth rotates and changes positions relative to the sun, the moon looks different and goes through a full cycle, from no reflected light, to a full moon. typically taking about I believe 30 days.

tranquil flint
#

oh!

#

right thats cool

#

appolagys for not understanding.

hardy vault
#

no your all good it was kind of vague to begin with

tranquil flint
#

we do have an option for that though.

you can change the lat and long of the position of the sun and moon. not sure if its dynamic thoug

#

we dont have the diffrent looks of the moon

#

i dont think

hardy vault
#

ya like that would be part of the day night cycle but moon stages would be over the span of 30 in game days

tranquil flint
#

but we do have eclypses.

#

thats willddd.

hardy vault
#

and gradually wane and wax

#

first pic was ass

tranquil flint
#

yeah. i think it would be cool if that was a thing. or just set what the next day would bring.

hardy vault
#

ya would just be another detail for long missions

tranquil flint
#

long campaigns.

#

or campaigns with multiple "Days" to it would be super cool .

#

so like you have a campaign at X date.
then the next mission would be at Y date and the maker could set the moon to be diffrent

#

iirc we have this with ptb, the moon and sun are simulated celestial objects

tranquil flint
#

i guess i didnt remeber it right

#

Yeah this is a thing, change the date and it will progress through the moon cycle

If you override the location and set the date/time in the mission editor, you can get an eclipse
