UTC Time Error

Featured Replies

Hi, I've just upgraded to ASV6.5 and noticed I have problem with the UTC time display. I've set my FS time to within first few hours of the loaded past weather file (20-Oct, with TAF processing enabled, but saw that the Metar reported in FS via ATIS shows as 24-Oct during enroute. When tuned to 122.0, it sometimes show as 24-Oct (with a Zulu time that is totally out of sync with my flying time), sometimes 20-Oct, during enroute points, but the destination point initially shows correctly as 20-Oct (but the time is always unchanged at 1653Z -- flight time starts at 18:00), then changing to 24-Oct as I get near the destination.I have never encounter such problem previously before the upgrade. I'm using FS9, with a flight plan loaded into ASV, but not FS9. Was flying with PMDG747.Please advise.Thanks,Lep

Hi,It sounds like TAF processing enabled, which will automatically adjust the valid time string to be that of your current system time. This should only affect the 2-digit date string which is not used for actual processing and is only for show. Some stations may not be TAF-element-activated and thus why they show the original METAR string valid time/date. Can you confirm this is true, and that you have TAF processing enabled when experiencing this?Best,

Thanks for your reply Damian. Yes I always fly with TAF switched on. As indicated, I've not experienced this before the upgrade.Lep

Hi Damian, any news on this one? Please advise is there any way I could get the UTC time to show up correctly.Thanks,Lep

Hi,The time display appears to be working correctly by design, although not as you are expecting with TAF processing. We have added this to the list for potential improvements in the next update. Thanks for your feedback!Best,
