I've updated a freeware utility I wrote several years ago which kept time within FS constant for those that are interested

 

This was also listed on several other FS related websites without my knowledge at the time and named FSFreezeTime or similar.

 

I've added an option to freeze the time for x amount of minutes upon which the time within FS continues as normal minus however many minutes it was frozen for.

 

Ive also added an option to display a message when the app is started and finished in FS which will show for 15 seconds. Each time the time is rewritten to FS whilst frozen it will display for 5 seconds. This can be disabled by unchecking the check box on the form.

 

I know some people have used it for dawn/dusk flying to keep whatever scenery 'lighting' static without sun rising/setting etc

Sounds great, I hadn't heard of this, thanks Graham, I will try this when I get back home to my FSX computer.

 

A possibly related question... is it possible to have the sim pause when dawn or dusk starts?

 

Thanks, Bruce.

Hi Bruce,

Yes I can add an option to select a time at which the time can be paused without having to manually switch to the app to do so

Have a look and if its something you will find useful I will add it

Thanks- I am out of town at the moment, will be home late on the weekend, so will take a look.  Thanks for your work.

 

Bruce.

Hi Graham. Just downloading. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

That Flight Monitor X looks good too. Cannot wait for that to see daylight.
