ACTimecycle

Synchronized slow time — 1 in-game day per ~3 real hours, identical for every connected player.

Default GTA time advances at 30 in-game minutes per real minute — a full day passes in ~48 minutes, which makes long-form RP feel rushed. ACTimecycle broadcasts canonical server time on a fixed slow rate so every connected player shares the exact same day/night moment.

Sunsets happen for everyone simultaneously, no client drift, no "I'm in night, you're in day" desync. Long-form scenes — a meal at a restaurant, a court hearing, a stakeout, a club night — finally feel like the time they should take.

Cosmetic / atmospheric: sunset photoshoots, evening cruises, pre-dawn raids all happen for everyone at once with no immersion break.
