clock display in 2.0b3

The clock display on the Track screen is only in 24hr format, no matter what I choose. Now, I can figure it out, but some of my passengers may not be able to do the math.

edit: I am using the developer image, if this helps.

Hmm. In five minutes, I'll see if mine does the same thing.

Hmm, works fine for me. Anyone else?

Showing 12 hr format here....

You need a better class of passenger!

Nope, I get 24h clock no matter what.

Process:

Settings -> Clock Format -> 12 hour
Settings -> Timecode -> Clock

Clock appears, but is in 24 hour format.

Cheers,

Doh! You're right...

The VISUAL clock shows 12 hour format, but the timecode clock does NOT. It seems to be locked into 24.

Well, I knew that, but I figured it's easier to fix the time format than to find new friends...

Groovy!

I get exactly the same!

Did you notice how the individual numbers appear to move when the ':' character comes and goes?

Weird!

Yeah, I was checking the visual as well. I never use the Info screen clock (always on countdown or elapsed/remaining).

If none of the alpha folks have put that into the internal buglist yet, I'll do it now.

Okay, it's on their internal bug list. Case closed. NEXT?

OK. I'll be picky. When time format is set to 24 hour, the analogue clock still displays a 12 hour face.

Hmm. Sounds trivial, but I actually like a 24 hour analogue clockface..

Wow, and I was worried about my passengers not being able to do the math. Imagine them trying to figure out where "the little hand" is pointing to on a tiny clock like that.

That's deliberate -- it's dithering the numbers. It alternates the dither, to reduce screen burn-in.

You must be very rarely satisfied then! I vaguely remember seeing a 24h analogue clockface once, but I can't remember where (Crewe Station?).

The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge has a longcase clock showing French Revolutionary time: 10 hours in the day, 100 minutes in the hour. (As Eric Hobsbawm put it, the only lasting effect of the French Revolution was metrication.)
