[Guest crj50]

Hi,I checked "system time" in FS2004 but everytime I get flight time. Any solution? Thanks.

This worked for me if that't what you are talking about!!!From Walter!Just saw that over at the 'other site' there is a thread about the same issue. There I found the following posting:QuoteRead the readme.rtf file in your FS9 folder. Scroll down to Miscellaneous -- this section tells you how to do away with the opening dialog that comes up in the default installation and contains no Do Not Show This Again checkbox as it did in FS2002.You will change the line in the STARTUP section that currently reads:SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=1 so that the final 1 is a 0 (zero).You need to read the readme.rtf to find out where in your OS the real fs9.cfg file is located -- On win98 it is in C:WindowsApplication DataMicrosoftFS9 but it is in a different location on WinXP machines.Once you set that to 0, you will startup in your airplane of choice in the flight which you set as the Default Flight, with the simulator actually reading system date and time.UnquoteWell, I must admit that I never knew that selecting not to show the opening screen does also select the 'system time'

I think there's no need to turn off opening screen, just open the sim and go straight ahead to making an default flight i.e: try to make your default flight start at the nearest airport from you house,and just prior to saving in, correct the time (the minutes or seconds) to reflect the actual time in your area. The next time you start the sim youl have your default flight set to your local area time, and you can select any time zone that the sim set's it acordingly. Having FSUIPC configured to sincronize fs200x to system time also helps.just give this a try. Hope it helps.Jos
