===============================
== "Lights On" Times for all map locations: ==
===============================

These are the times when all lights switch on at sunset, for each map location.

17:07:30 - Vancouver

17:30:00 - Auckland, La Trinite, Porto Cervo, San Francisco, Sydney, Tropical

17:33:45 - Nordic

19:25:00 - Marseille, Rio, Wight

19:57:30 - Qing Dao

20:23:45 - Valencia

21:20:00 - Napoli

To have all lights come on with the one minute gun (with 3 min start), set your map start time to be 2 mins 1 sec before "Lights On" time.

eg: Map start time of 17:27:59 for Auckland will make the lights come on a split second after the one minute gun.

Makes a nice effect, giving a bit more sense of occasion. Adjust for lights on with the starting gun if you want.

==============================
== "Lights Off" Times for all map locations: ==
==============================

These are the times when all lights switch off at sunrise, for each map location.

06:30:00 - Auckland, La Trinite, Porto Cervo, San Francisco, Sydney, Tropical

06:35:00 - Marseille, Rio, Wight

06:40:00 - Napoli

07:06:15 - Valencia

07:56:15 - Nordic

08:02:30 - Qing Dao

08:52:30 - Vancouver

Not quite so dramatic as "Lights On", but handy to know nonetheless.

You're welcome

I ntoiced how well this trick works - mainly in built up areas - and decided to share it here. Glad you like the idea.

The long skylines of buildings found at Qing Dao, Vancouver and Sydney make for very dramatic effects at lights on. Alcatraz Island and the Rio Skyway also light up very nicely. Fun to experiment with different locations.
