Hi all,,,,I have noticed that as the game progresses, day turns to night and visa versa,
My question is ,,,is there a way that it can be made to stay and stop at a certain time.? please.

While in surveyor go to main menu, edit session, startup options. Check that your start time and rate are set as you want them. If rate is on 2 you can change it to 1 but you can't stop the clock, time marches on.
You can change the start time in the Edit Session Rules>Startup Options>Set time to, then separately set the hours and minutes for the time of day that you want the session to start when it goes into Driver.
Next to the hours and minutes input boxes is a box where you can vary the rate from a pick list of x1 to a speedy x1440.
I don’t think that you can have a “frozen” time. However, unless you intend to play the game for more than 12 hours, you can set the time to start during either day or night-time and have a long session in daylight or darkness.
I rather like seeing the sun set or dawn breaking, although it can seem a bit odd at the high speed setting.
Edit: Well done Bill – you beat me to it. I got distracted half way through composing my reply in Word and checking out the facts in game.
You can always cheat and set the clock back to earlier in the day as evening approaches. I use QuickDriveV2 to keep track of the time. The only problem with trying this to cheat time is that if you have portals scheduled to emit trains at certain times, if you go back in time to before their emit time, they will be emitted again.
