Moon Phases

Recommended Posts

I thought of this the other night on my drive home from work while I was checking out the moon over Lake Superior and wondered if any of the true time servers follow the actual moon phases??? Is it even possible? LOL or do they already do so and i haven't noticed?

They did at one point, but due to bitching it's been changed to full moon nights in an effort to bring night cycles back to servers instead of 24/7 day.

In Arma (and initially DayZ) the gameworld has a complete and authentic lunar-cycle.  You can even use the stars to navigate if you know how in the same way you can use your watch and shadows in game to find north in the daytime.

 

I hope the SA really fixes nightime gameplay.  I can't navigate using the stars but I like knowing I could if I wanted to.

I'm with you Fraggle! Navigating with stars would be very cool indeed, I would need to familiarize myself with the Cherarus night sky, however i believe Ursis Minor (North Star) should be veiwable from there and that's all I need for starters.

Hate to bring this back but it looked like I had a moon cycle in 1.8, and now its back to just a full moon.  Is there any editing that will allow a lunar cycle again?  It also seems dawn/dusk cycles are off since 1.8.0.3.  It used to be right on the money, now its off by about 2 hours for me.

What the fuck? Stop bumping necro'd threads. Seriously. I'm 100% super ultra serious. This is just getting annoying.

Edit: Why didn't you just make a new thread?

Well the amount of times people say 'you should have searched, there is already a thread on this' is probably the reason he replied to this old thread... and so what? The thread is so old I didn't even know it existed and it turned out to be fairly interesting.

This is the easiest way to find the north star.
