I can't seem to get the "current time" to appear at the current location in FSX, does that feature really work or do you need to adjust for the current time at a particular location? Example, I'm in Florida, USA (Eastern Time), that is the time that always appears as "Current Time". If my flight origination is California, my time seems to stay at the Eastern-time where I and my computer's system time are located, even if I hit the reset time button. Is that a flaw in the program or am I missing something? I've removed the check-mark in the General Settings for using system time, but it doesn't seem to matter.If I change it to China, the time changes to the seemingly correct time (day changes to night and visa-versa), but the 3 hour time change from Eastern time to Pacific time doesn't change?Tony

I've always wondered about this as well.-Scott

Hi TonyYes it does work!First you need to set your date and time in Windows - in your case GMT -05.00 - FloridaIn FSX you need to set (tick) under \Settings\General "Use system time for Free Flight"I then choose a "local" airport and set that as the default flight.Now when you open FSX it will pont to your local airport and give the correct time for Florida and if you change the airport it should reflect the time at the new location.Or you could use "FS Real Time" an excellent program that works well. :( Regards PeterH
