Time of day on tracks with fixed time

All track variations except La Sarthe (I guess that 2005 and 2009 count as different tracks, at least in-game) share the same time of day, by the way.

Never really gave it much thought to be honest... but thanks anyway 👍

Neat =D

Good work my friend. I've wondered what time of the day it was on certain tracks.

Question, how did you make this list? How does one determine the time for Kart Space, its indoors lol.

After creating an online room, in the track options screen the slider for changing the track time is grayed off on those with a fixed time, but it still shows a different time of day for each of them, consistently with the actual lighting conditions.

Some tracks appear to be set in summer (Rome and Toscana, although the latter has changing time conditions); SSRX appears to be either set in deep winter and/or located at high latitudes, so I'm wondering if in addition to the time PD couldn't also offer in GT6 also julian day selection (day of the year), which could have an effect on weather.

I always love SHIRAKAWA post. I am glad for this information. It will be very useful for my league PGTR.

 

[esoxhntr]

hmm.. time to jump in the premium FC RX7 to see if the clock in the cockpit view changes.

I'm even more impressed now. I must have taken a while to go through each track and record the times. Like I said before, good work, we need more posts like these.

It was actually faster than I thought: you don't need to load a track by pressing OK, the time shown gets updated as soon as you select a new one in the list.

 

[tillbot8]

Ha interesting, There are very slight variations on lighting and Sun Placement in certain fixed time tracks!

 

[Spagetti69]

Shak mate, you must be really bored.

 

[CodeRedR51]

We need time change on all tracks. Early morning laps at Laguna Seca would be epic.

 

[Savolainen83]

I want this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QujU...DvjVQa1PpcFPSgEgeYYh6ale7O37q2PPYvIsu1J7gd_k=

By the way, how can I make the youtube video appear here on my post instead of that plain link?

I tried the youtube tags but it just gave me a blank square instead of the video.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Under the video click the "Share" button. Copy the link and paste it in the youtube tags. Then delete everything in front of the / symbol.

http://youtu.be/QujUj5nQV7U <- you want just the code after the / symbol.

[youtube.]QujUj5nQV7U[/youtube.] Like this, minus the periods.

Good work mate!!!! nice find!!

I think, they are ready for it, but it takes too much time to code it on all tracks (with weather too).
At least in online lobby, the grey fields in time and weather in track options lead me to this opinion

 

[Evolvedsoul]

I <3 Lists.. GTP <3 lists

 

[CodeRedR51]

I love taking a car to the Nurburgring, set the time for 5:00am with a change of ~3 and doing a lap or two with no HUD on the screen while the sun comes up. Just....

I want to do that on all tracks. The city courses with all the buildings lit up would be something else.

 

[shirakawaa]

Even if they can't model complete time changes for city courses (due to shadows dynamically changing, etc), they could at least add "Night" versions, like they did for the "Special Stage" tracks.

R1600 I do that all the time bro it's priceless. 👍

I agree 100% and i have a feeling this will be the case in the future.

 

[Griffith500]

Good work! I'd noticed that SSRX had an unusually short daytime, unlike the Nürburgring, for example.

It'll be interesting to see how PD evolve this system.

 

[HuskyGT]

I was doing it the wrong way. I took my Nissan Leaf for a tour on evey single track to see what time the clock in its instrument panel displayed.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The clock in the Premium FC RX-7 follows in-game time on time changing tracks. I watched it tick away as I did a lap of the Nurburgring last night.

 

[Foxiol]

Great job. Now i need to know the day of the week please.

 

[TheBlueHusky]

Good Job,
It's funny, yesterday I realized the R33 has a clock

I also do it as well.

Try doing it with the time at 19:50-21:00 when the sun sets. Just beautiful.

Which is a good concept if PD can't do the full time change for each tracks. By the way, excellent thread Akira. 👍

I think that's true for a couple of cars. I notice it from time to time but forget to take note.

It's really sad Spa has no time change.

 

[Griffith500]

The fact that Spa hasn't got it indicates to me that they're thinking of changing the way it works, either graphically or just generally (or both). Obviously that's pretty vague, but I doubt they're going to drop the functionality altogether.

Nice. I have wondered about that at times.

This is pretty much how I set up my practice sessions and races there. 👍
