Flight times in local time? #95

Closed jthuvili closed 6 years ago

jthuvili commented 11 years ago

Could the flight times be displayed in local time? IMHO in most cases it would be more informative.

Turbo87 commented 11 years ago

Local time of the flight or local time of the viewer? I assume the local time of the flight is the more interesting one...

nallison commented 10 years ago

I would prefer local time of the flight please.

Perhaps this would keep flights that cross midnight UTC from being wrapped to the start of the elevation window? We observed this at a local contest in Omarama, NZ (NZ Daylight Time = UTC+13).

@nallison what do you mean, live tracking or igc file flights? do you have a link?

nallison commented 10 years ago

Live tracking. I'm sorry I did not make this clear.

The pilots' flights where logging commenced before 00:00 UTC have not been uploaded to the Skylines site but we followed them on live tracking.

thanks for reporting this, but this is not directly related to this feature request and is acutally more of a bug. it would be great if you could open a separate issue for that.

to cut down on the number of open issues on this project we are introducing a feature request queue: https://github.com/skylines-project/skylines/issues?q=label%3Afeature-request+is%3Aclosed+sort%3Areactions-%2B1+. we will close feature requests immediately and label them with "feature-request" so that they will show up in the queue, which is sorted by 👍 reactions. since this issue is also a feature request we have labeled it appropriately and will close it now.

This would be a great addition for all the pilots flying far from UTC, and for the ones who fly in different timezones. Technically, we could use Moment.js Timezone library, which would apply the formatted timezone on frontend only. Timezone should be taken from Take-off/Landing airport and could be displayed on details view and table list. Sorting would remain based on UTC.
