Hi Curt,
I tried the latest CVS as of 2100 EST this evening, 2/11/2002. Some things
are fixed, others still behave strangely. The time I used for testing was
2/12/2002 at sunrise at KIAG (0717 EST, 1217 UTC), heading 090, altitude
1000 MSL. Specifically:
Options: HUD displays: Sun:
----------------------------------------- ------------------ ---------
---
--start-date-gmt=2002:02:12:12:17:00 2/12/2002 12:17:00 correct
(sunrise)
(this is UTC)
--start-date-gmt=2002:02:12:12:17:00
--time-offset=+00:15:00 1/1/1970 0:15:00 IT'S
DARK!!
--start-date-lat=2002:02:12:07:17:00 2/12/2002 07:17:00 IT'S
DARK!!
--start-date-lat=2002:02:12:07:17:00
--time-offset=+00:15:00 1/1/1970 0:15:00 IT'S
DARK!!
--start-date-sys has same results as --start-date-lat.
Conclusions:
1. --start-date-gmt works fine without --time-offset.
2. --start-date-sys and -lat do not work properly, they work the same
as -gmt.
3. --time-offset works fine by itself.
4. --time-offset with --start-date-anything sets the date to 1/1/1970.
Hope this helps track down the problem.
Regards,
Paul
