September 11, 20169 yr I'm starting this thread here because the subject started at the X-Plane forum, and it really doesn't belong there... Basically I've found a discrepancy in my install of FG nightly ( latest version = 2.16.4.0 20160911 ) between LT and UTC that apparently doesn't exist on other installs like the one used by Murmur, which correctly displays the UTC and LT for a given place and date/time... Here's an example at ENBO for 03:11 UTC today: For 03:11 UTC FG calculates LT as being 00:11 when it should rather be 05:11 because presently the airport in under CEST. As a first step I am installing the latest stable version available from the FG site - 2016.2.1 and will see how that one goes... Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
September 12, 20169 yr Author Confirmed, I installed the version available at the main site, which is still 2016.2.1 released May 17, 2016, and I lose METAR download because that version doesn't have the updated URL, but have proper UTC / LT relation at least for the 5 airports around Europe I tested. Hope it get's fixed in the next release, but, indeed FG is, together with FSX/P3D and ELITE a sim that properly calculates twilight ( dawn and dusk ) depending on date-time.place.
