Equal Day / Night length

Description
This mod will change the day used in American Truck Simulator from the summer solstice, 21st June, to the vernal equinox, 21st March.
This will give you a day length of about 12 hours, or an equal day/night length.

OTHER VARIANTS:
* Real world day/night lengths / updated weekly: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1247532088
* Longest day (summer solstice) / ~14 ½ hour day: don't use a mod, that's what the game uses by default.
* Shortest day (winter solstice) / ~10 hour day: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1261282201

Should be compatible* with every other mod, just make sure to place this one above (higher priority than) any graphics, map, or weather mods.

--

*If you have an incorrect day night cycle after enabling this mod, the most likely cause is that you are using another mod that is not updated for the current version of the game and does not support timezones.
Fuel prices mods or mods that change the map (add towns, truck stops, etc.) are the most likely culprits.
Disable the other mod, ask the other mod maker to fix their mod for the current version of the game, or disable timezones in your game settings.

@Stealthman Not that I know of. It if's active in the mods list and not being overwritten by another mod (keep it at or near the top) it will work.

If you want you can compare actual sunrise/sunset times for cities, the game is on permanent daylight savings so everything should be more or less correct no matter when you check it.

Essential. Works perfect on v1.37. Thank you, greetings.

Not possible, unfortunately. Time scale is a map property, the only thing I can easily adjust is the day of the year.

Can we edit that to be more like 2-3game days per real day?
