Hours of Daylight (Multiplayer)

[PlagueDoc]

Hello,

I haven't been playing Simrail for about a year and a half now. One of my concerns was the fact that on multiplayer servers, I noticed that hours of daylight were the same regardless of season. The sunset and sunrise hours didn't change as the year progressed. I expected longer daylight hours during late spring and into summer, and then shorter daylight hours during autumn, with the shortest in December. Funny enough, I was mostly spending time in Simrail during springtime before, and so I didn't pick up on this instantly. But I then started to play during a different time of the year and was wondering why the sun sets that soon? And then asked the question on these forums, and one of the devs confirmed that the servers were set up with an April day (if I remember correctly) in mind. This was a huge immersion killer and disappointment for me, and I basically stopped playing.

Please could someone confirm if this has changed since then? I am hoping for realistic sunset/sunrise hours that are faithful to the actual season, the current time of the year.

Thanks in advance!

I nelieve its good now. Or at least the sunlight more or less follows a locig pattern. Please note their are servers with an time offset (indicated in het server list) sk you can pich a server with a different time of day and lighting. Most official singleplayer senario's allow to change the time of day and weather now.

Yep, I was always playing on a server with my time zone, so my observation was based on that. 

Thank you for your reply. I hope more people can confirm it.

Immersion is different for everyone. For me, the lack of immersion is a Pendolino or some other four-digit IC train leaving Warsaw empty... In this simulator, the railway is just hauling air.
