While creating AI Flightplans for real world airlines, I've noticed a number of FS2004 airports are not in the proper time zone. This anomaly causes AI aircraft Missing scheduled arrival/departure times.For example:- Vancouver (CYVR), which is ~140 miles N of Seattle (KSEA), are in different FS time zones.- Victoria (CYYJ), which is ~135 mile NW of Seattle (KSEA), are in the same FS time zone.- Victoria (CYYJ), which is ~100 miles SW of Vancouver (CYVR), are again in different FS time zones.- All three airports are in the same real world time zone.Any suggetions on how to correct this ?

Hi,I don't have FS2004 (yet), but if it uses a Timezone.bgl file like FS2002 (found in the scenery folder), you can try do decompile it and change the timezones.Therefore you need a program called SCDIS (http://cesnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freesc/scdis22.zip).If you've successfully decoded it, you'll see a lot of lines with a TimeZone command: TimeZone( N48:59:59.96 N25:59:59.99 W84:47:59.97 W103:0:0.01 360 1 1 )The TimeZone command defines a rectangular time zone (coordinates), the time difference in minutes to UTC (360 in this case), the priority of the timezone (1 here) and existence of daylight saving time (1 hour difference in this case).Thereafter you can compile it again with SCASM, which you can get here: http://www.scasm.de/dat/sca290.zip (don't forget to make a backup of the bgl-file in the FS2004's scenery folder first!).Hope this helps... :)Kind regards,http://home.planet.nl/~duijn181/cu2/koen.jpg

Hi Koen,Found the timezone.bgl file in FS2004, unfortunately when I try to decompile it I get an "abnormal program termination" message. It occurs while analysing Section 0 of the BGL Header.I tried and succeeded in decompiling the FS2002 timezone.bgl file.I assume there must be something different with the FS2004 timezone.bgl file?Thanks for your help,Robin

Hi Robin,Perhaps the SCDIS cannot decompile the FS2004 files yet. Then it becomes very difficult to change the timezone.bgl file. The only thing I can think of, is copying your FS2002's timezone.bgl to FS2004. But if the format is different, FS2004 could give some serious errors as a result of that... If that doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions. :(Kind regards,http://home.planet.nl/~duijn181/cu2/koen.jpg
