Wow.. this is still mixing people up.Henk-Jan and everyone else. In the real aeroplane the Local time you display on the clock is annoted on it by the word MAN and has no bearing on anything. It is MANUALLY set...you can make it display whatever you like. You could set it to local time for Timbuctoo if you want and it will not change your daylight conditions one iota.The UTC time is always the same. I suggest you all forget about what the local time is wherever you are and just set the clock to UTC and the sun position you see WILL be correct for your Latitude and Longitude.Don't go making it so hard for yourselves. Pilots couldn't give a tinkers cuss what the local time is apart from when you are late for closing time at the pub or miss the shuttle bus to the hotel ;)Flying is not rocket science, keep it simple and it is much more fun and a lot safer as well.Rgds,

>And what the **** is LMT now? Mr. Speight? :D>>Cheers,GMT=Greenwich Mean Time=LMT-1=LMT=Local Mean Time=British Summer Time=GMT+1=UTC+1Mats, If you really want to know what the F*****G time is, I'll tell you, I'm hungry and IT's 1700GMT+1 which is B****Y T-Time which Equals a soon 2B filled MT Belly.Cheers HTH

Even if fs9 thinks Denmark is UTC+1 when in fact it's UTC+2?

>Even if fs9 thinks Denmark is UTC+1 when in fact it's UTC+2?Exactly, Mikkel. That is the point I was trying to make. It's not the 737NG clock that's wrong, it's the UTC time-offset in FS9. Netherlands as well as Denmark are still in UTC+2 (summertime). I use to create flights in my timezone. Some weeks ago, the difference between local time and UTC time in FS9 was 2 hours. Since october the time difference is 1 hour. That is not correct. So what it all comes down to is the fact that FS9 has ended summertime for my region, while the real world has not.Oooh, I like this discussion :( :+Now in know why people say time fliesHenk-Jan

I agree, and I haven't found a solution to this yet. I thought the program FS Real Time could alleviate this problem, but it's still wrong in my part of the world.

Mikkel,MS has had the time zones wrong since at least FS98 when I started simming and it has never patched that particular problem.However there is a guy (I can never remember his name) who has been producing time zone fixes for each version of FS.His new site for these fixes is http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/FSTimeZones/ but you have to be a member to see anything - I think.Do a search in the library here for 'tz*.*' and you should find at least one file.The latest I have is 'tz22-tz30update4.zip'Now I don't know if this will fix your summertime offset to UTC/GMT/ZULU time but at least it will put countries in their correct time zone.HTH

Okay just checked out the file you refered to. It is infact the same files that is used in the program FS Real Time. This program I have either not gotten to work correctly or it doesn't work the way it should. Maybe you could try an experiement for me. Place yourself at the airport called UAAA and see what the local time and what the GMT time says. There should be a difference of UTC+6(+7DT), but I get UTC+5 using this program so I might be doing something wrong...:)

OK Mikkel,FS is 1 hour out, presumably it is not taking into account daylight saving.Both FS and the 737 clock give me a local time of 16:15 and UTC 10:15, looking on the World Clock web site it tells me that you are in daylight saving which adds 1 hour so local time should be 17:15.HTH

Where is this. Did you go to UAAA and you get a difference of 6 hours between local and UTC time. Are you using anything special, because I cannot seem to get anything more than 5 hours difference.

Okay I think I didn't have it installed correctly before...I was supposed to installed the timezone files as any other 3rd party scenery and I now also get a 6 hour difference in UAAA.
