LeCuvier Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Could you make date & time formats consistent please? On the DCS Home Page in the "Forums" area I see something like "03-05-2016 07:51:33 UTC". In the forums I see "05-03-2016 09:51 AM". I'm not sure how many users would agree with me, but I would prefer to see the format "03-05-2016 07:51:33 UTC" or "03-MAY-2015 07:51:33 UTC" also in the forums. I think it's less error-prone than the traditional US format. And even the US military uses Day-Month-Year notation for dates, and 24-hours format for time. But at least, please be consistent between home page and forums! The other problem I have with the time format in the forums is that I have no clue what time zone it's based on. I suspect it's CET; but is it CET daylight saving time or just CET?

Sryan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Go the top left of the forums. Click on 'User CP'. On the left you'll then find 'Edit Options'. A few scrolls down you'll be able to set your own timezone. And if you want to compensate for DST or not. Check my F-15C guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shagrat Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Military date would be cool. DD.Month.YYYY 24:00 UTC as default, corrected by timezone according to user settings. Any date apart from 1.1.2016, 5.5.2016 to 12.12.2016 always have me guessing about month and day... Time in 24:00 hours notation is precise, to say the least.

VincentLaw Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Both of these things actually happen if you switch the forum language to Russian, but I don't think there is a way to change them separately from the language. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
