night

[1814]

 

I don't know if it's a bug or if it's really like that. The skies at night look like it's dawn, the shot was taken at 3:43 am.

Hi, this has been already reported. Thank you.

In the summer (which is when the server is set) sunrise is as early as 4:14am.  Twilight starts about an hour before that, so this will be fairly accurate.

tbh it would be nice if the night would be a bit longer.

For longer nights we need wait for other seasons like autumn or winter.

Oh, those sleepless summer nights 🙂

people need to look at the date they are driving the train on here,

When i got on the playtests, the in sim date was the 22nd of June... that's the day after the summer equinox, aka the longest day in the year.

i lived in Germany for about 8 years growing up, and the summers nights in SimRail are just how i remember them, light until gone 22:00 hours, darkness would last a very short time, by 03:00 it was beginning to get light again,   twighlight seeming to last a very long time.

And when its a cloudless sky, the summer moon lights things up almost like a weak daylight,

 

I think SimRail have got the day - night cycle modeled very well.
