Question about setting the time of day scale.

[paskowitz]

If I am running a 2 hour race and I want the race to go through a full day night cycle what would I set the time scale to.

If a scale of 2 means time elapses twice as fast, meaning a full cycle takes 12 hours, then a 2 hour race should have the scale set to 12 (2x12-24 and 12x2=24). Assuming this is how the scale works.

If this is not the way it works, then how does it work and what setting should I use? Thanks.

You're right.
Time change 1 = real time.

24 hour cycle for a two hour race is time change 12.

This has already been discussed.

Search "Time scale/compression explained"

Can't get the link to work.

If I'm not mistaken, 1 sec of race time equals to 1 minute (day/night clock) in the game. I think the Fiat 500 has a working clock and that's where I took my "1 sec = 1 minute in game".

This would only be true if the scale was set to 60 on a time change track.
