Big Digi-ben
Does this display real world time and if so what format? Military time?

- Yes and yes.

A very minor nitpick that I bring up only because it’s been discussed before: the display is 24-hour time, which is not quite the same thing as military time.- Thanks

Does it say 2400 or 0000 for midnight?"wiedmannaj;1557183" wrote:

Not sure, but I imagine 00:00. The distinction is the colon — it’s not used in military time.- Yes it is 00:00
- I bought the digi ben knowing it displayed real time. Its a nice addition by my airport. Love the airport and the hanger sound effect of it being in mid air. Takes me back to my trip to the Philippines.
- Hoping I can build a nice big airport. Playing quite a bit to get pieces. Try to get on every 4hrs alarm included to get more pieces

24hr time 0000-2359 is military time, you might be confusing Zulu time (which is also used by the military- to be used by all branches around the world as "the time" instead of the local time zone your stationed at) with 24hr time. Now why the : is used? Coding, lazy, easy, etc......."AARONRTD;1557420" wrote:

My only real point was that while military time is based on a 24-hour clock, when it’s written out it doesn’t use a colon (as does Digi-Ben). Shoulda been more clear in my OP.
