Sunset and sunrise

Recommended Posts

Hi,

when do sunsets and sunrises occure in opf?

Do they change with the date, I know that would be too much, but I been so often surprised by this game smile.gif

Mods: this is not off topic, I really need the info in one of my mission...And want the exact time.

Thanks

The timing is realistic, latitude 40 degress North, no daylight saving time.

You can get a nice Red sky by setting the date to about January, and the time to sunrise. Looks cool with clear weather smile.gif

That's what I was looking for! But what would be the sunrise time then? Do I have to try all early hours, or is it selectable "Sunrise", "Sunset"...

I'm at work now and I can't test it.

Thanks

Sunrise during the winter is rather late, about 7:30 (I think), during the summer its much earlier. Just open up the mission editor and play about with the date and just preview it.

Tides also go in and out and - remember - you can navigate by the stars in OFP. Well, some of us can, anyway. tounge.gif

Nor did I, got to check that out sometime. As for navigating the stars, I usually get lost, like in that Escape mission biggrin.gif

If you can accelerate time with a command, I wonder if you can put a negative number in biggrin.gif

Now we know the Latitude - can someone calculate now the Longitude so I can check on the Globe where my next vacation goes?

Some places at ~40 Degree North Lat.:

Beijing (China), Philadelphia (USA), Columbus (USA), near miss Denver (USA), Menorca (Spain), Ankara (Turkey)
