I've used FS Real Time for years, no problems. Just lately, its been acting wierd, sometime working, sometimes not. On occasion it shows UTC and Local times as 0:00 31/12/1999 regardless of what is set as the time and date in FSX. FS Real Time says FSUIPC connected, but the time does not reflect what is in FSX. I do not use any of the offset settings. I just Connect to FS.

 

Each time this happens it takes over an hour of frustration, reinstalling FS Real Time, FSUIPC (usually multiple times), retrying, deleting FSUIPC from "trusted" in FSX cfg so it can rebuild, restaring computer, etc, until finally it works and I get the correct FSX time. Then, next day, usually after installing new scenery or aircraft or something that should not make any difference, it happens again. As I said, used this program for years with no issues--cannot understand what is happening now!

 

Anyone else experienced this and may have a clue as to What is happening?

I only just started using it myself. As a side question, do I need to fire it up and connect to FSX every time I fly?

Fs real time should be set to read your computer date and time. It then adjusts FS time according to time zone you're in.
