Ships suddenly being teleported around the world

[afish]

Version: 1.24
Start Year: 1900
No Mods or alterations to default (though am playing on large fleet)

Player Nation: USA

Current year of game: 3/1955

I had just entered a battle located in the south pacific (near Fiji?), time had elapsed long enough to allow control of the fleet.  I had shift clicked to change course when suddenly my ships disappeared.  Took me a while to recover from the shock of this, but finally clicking the ships in the Order of Battle allowed me to locate them. 

One teleported to the South Atlantic near the West African coast, another to the South Atlantic near the South American Coast, a third to the area of South Indian Ocean, and a fourth onto land in northern Australia.

The DD Gregory is in the vicinity of where the ships where prior to teleportation.  US Battle Division 6 (support force) also teleported a few hundred miles to the east of where it had been as it had previously been just to the west of my fleet. 

No shots had yet been fired, in fact I had not yet located the opposing fleet.... so who knows if/where the enemy was teleported!  :-D

Maybe the Philadelphia Experiment was a real incident in your game's timeline.

Thanks for the report - a tricky issue that has to do with the IDL (International Date Line) and/or GMT longitudes causing issues in certain cases.

Hmmm.

I assume you already considered having all times as seconds-past-epoch (and times before are negative), have all days be 86400s long and convert the seconds-past-epoch to local time whenever you need to show or reason about the local time (whatever timezone, wherever on the globe it may be)?
