Sunset/sunrise or dawn and dusk times

[Reggie_Mental]

How can I determine the Sunset/sunrise or dawn and dusk times? (within 30 minute increments) for each map and season?

 

Is there an app available?

 

Is there a table or a folder with this information>?

Actually I think that depend from the date (June, July, etc.)

 

Maybe you can check the actual real sunset time of the zone, it should work

Please see the attached file. Those are the times used as reference (to generate missions, I guess) for all maps in Career mode, I don't know if other modes use a different reference. You can also check in the mission editor: load a map, change the mission date and time, and see where the Sun is ? (it's faster to do that than it appears, as the time change is applied instantaneously and you see how much light there is)

bisiest years should only make it change sunset or sunrise a few seconds from 2021 sunrise and sunset

 

i wonder is there any astronomical event capture in the game that happend during some campaign?

 

edit:

 

my casio watch can calculate sunrise and sunset time if you give me year date longitude and latitude ill tell you in a moment

 

edit or just use this tool:

I read somewhere that a solar eclipse in 1942 or 43 is modelled in game, and if you are in a mission on that date/time/latitude it goes dark for several minutes. Is this true and does anyone know the details?

 

Cheers for the link. I'll give it a try later.

Thanks, that is very useful. 

 

Do you have times for the quick mission season maps?

I found a solar eclipse 10/09/1942 and another one 04/02/1943.
Did a try with the mission editor, but seems it's not modelled

No, but my guess is that they are the same.

Did the eclipse happen in the wider area of the maps?

 

Edit: Just saw the latitude was mentioned above your post.

It does work.... or did. 21.09.1941 at 06:15 am. I wrote about it after it was discovered.
