where does the moon rise from n s e w ?on .63 exper

[Venalan]

The Moon rises in the east and sets in the west; however, depending on the phase of the Moon and the time of the year, the rising might actually occur in the east-northeast or east-southeast, and the setting might take place in the west-northwest or west-southwest.

The Sun rises in the east sets in the west, depending on the time of year summer would be northeast and setting north west winter would be south east setting south west.

All we need to know is what time of the year Dayz is based upon?

Yes that would be my guess around October.

and the OP comes from Australia, which is the Southern Hemisphere and makes big differences in terms of the moon's vision.Chernarus is in the Northern Hemisphere.

I doubt where he comes from will have a baring on the games overall direction, I feel it will be the same for all whilst playing the game, as for the exact location of Chernarus, this will as the further up north, the more chance of the sun and moon rising east and setting in the west, will be more likely as its based in the Autumn.

Very correct so. To answer the last question, our entire sky with sun/moon/stars is simulating all seasons, so the position of the rising moon will slightly shift over the year. :)
