Yep. Came here looking for a resolution to the same issue. Hope I didn't miss anything embarrassing but I've been flying NGX and 777 for close to 3 years.

Currently occurring in the 777-300

 

(777-200 and SP1 also installed)

[777 340]

Isnt this the time Diffrence ??? since the FMC will give you the ETA in ZULU time - which I think is GMT. Not local time, I do think there is a way to change the clock to your local time, may need to refer to the manual for that.

No.

 

FMC ETA progress and Chonometer in the aircraft don't jive with each other.  Both should both be Zulu.

 

Forget about what time it is on my PC or where I'm at geographically.

 

Current Zulu time flying over the state of Washington is 1618z and the FMC says I should arrive in Minneapolis 966 miles away at 1438z.

Bios Battery perhaps??? FSUIPC time sync Issues ???

I have had that happen twice in the NGX about 2 years ago on two flights. If it is not a continuous problem that occurs on every flight I would not worry about it. Just chalk it up to nothing. Things happen.

I am sorry about the question. I thought I was in the PMDG General Forum.

Helping is exactly what im TRYING to do, De-railing im am not. Lets just get this straight. Hope you find your answer. Good Luck.

Jason - I was about to say the same thing he did.  I wouldn't be dismissive of folks around here.  Nobody is getting paid to help people out here, and I'm pretty sure that comment ended his interest in helping here, which is unfortunate.

 

Are you running a machine that uses an ASUS mobo?

[jasonboche 7]

It is occurring again after a reboot. Has not occurred with the 777-200 (pre SP1) or the NGX.

You're right and I did apologize earlier for being terse & I've sent a PM to 777. This is the PMDG support forum and I hope somebody is getting paid around here.  I know what GMT/zulu and offsets are but I fail to understand what that has to do with this issue. The chronometer and ETA should both be on the same page (Zulu).  Unless you're highlighting a known bug with ASUS motherboards. Again, haven't seen it using PMDG products for 3 years.
