I find myself wonderring if the clock is correct when it's displaying the UTC. I think that it is displaying the GMT time and not UTC. In the summer GMT is one hour ahead of UTC and when I compare with UTC on VATSIM or the internet the PMDG clock is one hour ahead. I know it's a small thing, but it should be easy to fix.

Much better thanks...but the thing is that it says UTC in the clock top right hand corner, not GMT.

Am I missing something here?GMT is always GMT is it not? BST (British Summertime) would be one hour ahead.I know that UTC is the new standard but I don't see how this affects GMT as GMT is UTC in reality.Maybe things have changed?Glenn Harralledit - Linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone

Yeah.Randy showed you clock with mechanical hands and without the GPS option. It will show GMT.Here's the all LCD clock with GPS as this is the one installed in our NG. It shows UTC.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95184.jpgAnd my clock shows the right UTChttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95190.jpgBut Glenn brought up a good question. Isn't GMT/UTC the same time?Cheers,

Yeah you beat me correcting that Matts, well here is part of the correction..http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95191.jpgBest Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

When summer time is effect in the UK GMT is one hour ahead of UTC. So no, GMT is not UTC in reality. I think I found a mistake in fs9...if I go to Heathrow and set the correct local time for example 20:13, fs9 sets GMT to be 19:13 which is wrong, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.The fact though is that UTC is not the same as GMT in the summer.

I don't know what you mean when you say your clock shows the right UTC, mine says UTC too, but the question was if it shows the correct time...which right now it doesn't as it seems to get it's time from fs9 GMT time.

Mikkel - I was not being clear I think. ;-)Look at the picture. I run FS with system time. I am standing on CYYZ in Toronto, Canada which is EST. We are currently 4 hours behind UTC which is what is shown. Cheers,

Thanks for the link I think I understand now and see where I went wrong. Here's how I read it, UTC is in fact the same as GMT, but in the summer time UTC is one hour behind GMT. So if I where to go to Heathrow airport now the local time may be for example 21:13, but the GMT would be 20:13...correct?I still have the problem with fs9 though. If I start in Kastrup Denmark at say 21:13 and move to Heathrow it still thinks it's 21:13 in Heathrow...It fails to realize that Denmark is UTC+2.

I still don't think you have got it quite right.UTC and GMT are ALWAYS the same. When clocks change for Summer time this becomes BST British Summer Time which is one hour ahead of GMT /UTC. As far as I am aware, the clocks also move forward in Europe for summer time. Therefore UK and Europe in Summer is actually on BST, which is one hour ahead of GMT. So you have the theory right in that at Heathrow now the time would be 21:13 (BST) but GMT would be 20:13, but UTC would also be 20:13 as it is the same as GMT.Hope this helps,Glenn Harrall

Mats,CYYZ is always GMT / UTC -5 (unless Summer Time has already ended in Canada and you are back on Winter time)See the above link that I supplied.EDIT: Forget it Mats, I read local time, which is of course -5 but at the moment YYZ is -4 UTC / GMT as you stated. Sorry!Regards,Glenn Harrall

This thing is driving me crazy. :) I tried to make a small table, is this correct?Jan-Mar:Local time: 21.08GMT: 21.08UTC: 21.08Mar-Oct:Local time: 21.08GMT: 20.08UTC: 20.08Oct-Dec:Local time: 21.08GMT: 21.08UTC: 21.08
