Fixed Hours are days in 3D sailing

8. !!!Change of Daytime = Change of DATE!!
This one has bothered me a lot. When in free sail mode, the date goes forward the moment the ‘jump’ to the next daytime happens e.g. sunset->night. In one moment it is December 17th, 19:00; in the next moment it is December 18th, 19:01. This effectively lets the date advance by at least 4 entire days (or are there more daytimes? I count sunrise, noon, sunset, night) per alleged day. This also makes free sail not the least bit more time-efficient than simply using the map, because time advances just as fast in map mode.

Can someone confirm this?

Can someone confirm this?

It is true. It is also nog a bug, but very much intentional.
