So, in an ever ending effort to up my claim conformation *edit-confirmation, durr, I have been paying more attention to the time. But has anybody noticed that the game seems to disagree with itself about the time? What is a poor pilot to do? Is that dash clock really so valuable after all?


It's an hour off?

Oh, and as a consolation prize for reading my thread, has anyone noticed that some of the gauges reflect?

It's not a true reflection of what is going on behind you (based on its position, the gauge would most likely reflect the interior of the cockpit) but it does bank with you and show more or less ground and sky depending on whether you climb or dive...cool touch!

As I use the hour for my claims I have noticed the same problem. In fact, it seems that the "hour hand" doesn't rotate continuously, but only every 60 minutes.

yeah, the time is correct. the small Hand doesn't move within an hour like you would expect to in real, but it jumps to 2 o' clock when the minutes reach 60.

Thank you very much Creaghorn for that bit of info.
Sometimes it seems on and other times it didn't so I was worried I was in some pre-stroke condition.

And yea...the play of light, reflection, and shadow, in the cockpit is very cool.
Looking good in your Se Rick!

Ah, that makes sense. To me it looked like the small hand was a little before the 1 and the 6 but I see now it's just the angle. Thanks, Creaghorn!

I think the clock is important also. However, I can't find a clock in the Camel? Am I missing it or will my pilot have to use his wrist watch? Thanks

While we're at it, can we also get the seconds hand animated? Every time I look at the clock and see the seconds hand stationary I have the urge to wind it. I guess this should go on the wish list instead. What's the key command for wind the clock? biggrin

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."
