Daylight hours in MSTS

[NiallGray]

One thing I've always been curious to find out is whether the amount of daylight in seasons can be altered, ie modify the times for sunrise and sunset.

It really annoys me that when I'm working on acts set in summer for the route, it's getting dark in the early evening and that bugs me! One of the joys of why Scotland in the summer is that it's light very early and is still light late into the evening.

So just wondering if it's possible to alter this in MSTS, though I'm only interested in doing this to my route, not to the MSTS engine as a whole (ie thus affecting every other route I have).
