Beanie - that is BS and you know that too!
I checked the data sheet which Tiller gave me for the daylight turns by month by Latitude and it is as the game has it.
The PDT uses:
4 18 1
if Nov and the Latitude is 50 Degrees. And you don't like that - so change it!
The setting would call for a different value in Dec which is Winter Storm, but I can't change the amount of daylight WITHIN one Scn so I went with the Nov Value. When I picked these values, I was looking more at the early phase of the Uranus Campaign. That means 5 days starting and ending in November, so I used Nov Values by design.
FWIW, I've learned to appreciate that given a choice of option A and B, if I take Option A, there will be people will think I should have taken option B. If I picked B, then there would be other people will tell you it should be A and B is clear a bug or an error someone isn't prepared to admit.

If someone wants the Dec value for for 50 degree Latitude, the value is 6 18 0 - but if you use 6 18 0, it has to remain the same for the whole Campaign - even the short Campaign which takes place completely in Nov. So I'm going to stick by the Night turns for that early critical phase of the Uranus Campaign and keep the later phase in sync with that.
The net effect is with my setting, the 4am turn half the daylight vis. With 6 18 0 there is no 4am turn - no dawn and dusk and the Night turns start at 1800 - the 2200, 0200 and broad daylight at 0600. And I just don't think it is PITCH BLACK dark at 1800 in the middle of November - and that was my focus.
I have a long track record of correcting errors or mistakes in any game of the Series - if this was not intentional and were done accidently, then I would change it and post that the correction has been submitted for the next update. But I don't plan to change this for the Winter Storm scns only as it will put them out of phase completely with the Winter Storm part of the Campaign. I suppose I could have done that and then cut the Campaign off without having it extend into WInter Storm, but I figured people would want both together.
I guess I can't win eh - because I would be wrong whatever way I went - at least I figure.
