Horizons Ships Clock

Dont have any use for a clock that does not tell local time. Dont use the game clock, and have a battery operated clock, in local time, sitting a top my laptop, so I know what time it is.

So if the clock is meaningless why not remove it? I would rather have nothing than something that is wrong. Having said that until the BST time change it showed the correct time for me as I am in England...spoilt or what!
When it was showing the correct time I personally found it quite useful.

Cheers,

GD

Why is it meaningless? How can it be "wrong"? UTC is the time in the game, it tells you when things like CGs finish. It is useful to arrange wing-ups across time-zones. UTC is universal whereas BST (or any DST) is just parochial.

Aaand here goes "another pointless ingame clock is in wrong time"-thread number 683.

Disperse, nothing to see here.

So do you have your watch set to UTC time when away from game so you know when to go back in game and wing up? ....perhaps I need to buy a second watch...on the other hand....

god forbid one has to keep two sets of numbers in their head, separated by a constant value.


Honestly, people don't deserve all the glorious technology we have.

I don't wear a watch, I am retired and fart in the general direction of watch and smart-phone equipped wage-slaves. My house clocks are radio-synchronised and times on equipment update automatically, even my central heating timer switches to and from DST with no input on my part. I have one clock on my desk running at UTC for amateur radio and flight sim reference.

I would much rather live by the days' actual time, with 12 noon being when the sun is at it's zenith but I can't thanks to the production of Victorian railway timetables.

I am used to working in Zulu time from my military career and even in online simulated aviation; I have never found it difficult to add or subtract a number from the little hand and I feel sorry for people who can't manage it.
