Well I'm displaying the local times because that will - eventually - affect supply & demand of the routes. For example a flight taking off at 3am will be in less demand than a flight taking off at 6am. The game will recognize these local departure/arrival times and calculate passenger loads accordingly. Once I figure out the best way to create routes, you will be able to schedule aircraft takeoff times so as not to disadvantage anybody based on their geographical location. But for these quick flights that is not an option. Once routing is in place quick flights will mainly be used for transporting aircraft, or I suppose if you want to roleplay something.
I could display the server time which I believe is mountain time... (the servers are in Utah? I think) but a better option is to allow the user to select their timezone in their profile, and then the game will display the departure/arrival times in the user's own timezone as well as the airport's local timezone. But I need to create a profile page and all the functions that go along with that such as changing password, email, PM system, etc before I can implement user-dependent timezones. Just some of the stuff that's still on the list for me to finish before I can open it up for public beta.
