Date Change Question

DebonAir · **on:** April 14, 2008, 01:55:22 am

Hey everyone, I'm new to Airline Mogul and I think I've found pretty much everything I need to know besides date transitions;

1.At what minute does the day change? I thought it was around XX:00, but that does not seem to be the case
2.At what hour does the month change? I only just started a few hours ago, so I have not yet seen a month transition.

In case it varies by world, I'm in W3.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The day changes at the top of every hour, the server updates about 2-3 minutes after.

Not sure about the month change, but its 10AM EST in W6.

Last round it was 5:00 pm EDT here. I think in World 3 it is around 10 am EDT. It is currently 12:21 AM EDT and Sept 15th, 1969. In 10 hours/days, depending on how you look at it, it will be 1 October 1969 (game), and 10:00 am EDT (real life)...

What's EDT? What's the difference between EST and EDT?

I'm not familiar with that time zone.

Eastern Standard Time vs. Eastern Daylight Time

Yeah, daylight savings time has been in effect since last month. Since last year I believe, it's been pushed up by 3 weeks. I know that in some parts of the states dst has no effect... (don't ask me how that's possible. I'm a bit baffled by that myself)

Apparently in some states (Tennessee) are split between two timezones....Tennessee is apparently EST on the eastern side, and EST-1 on the western side....

I wonder if they have a sign where the time zone splits that says "Please set your clocks one hour ahead, you are entering Eastern Standard Time zone."

Would be pretty interesting to commute from say, Indiana to Chicago..."sorry I'm late, time zone desynchronosis.."

Like going from Gary, IN to the Chicago Loop...
