k, I was reading a manual and there's a checkbox to move between your computer time and fs9 time. Seems that no matter what I do fs9 loads with the time that is the "time" setting in "time and world." Is there a way to have it automatically load with whatever time it currently is in the real world in what ever time zone I'm in? If the question sounds confusing it's because I'm confused about the terms and also their implementation. Btw, I have fsnav, licenced fsuip, and active sky 2004 as addons...thx,billg

Hi Bill,Start up using your default flight, click on computer time and then re-save your default flight.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

Jim, thx, that helped. Still not perfect, but I did some more searching and it looks like there are some bigger issues with the simulator itself with reference to time zones. Oh well, no biggie...billg
