FSX-SE Freeflight/saved flights always revert to system time

[gliderdriver 6]

Folks

When I load a saved flight, FSX always loads it with my system time, not the time of day saved in the saved flight files.

I have 'use system time for free flight' unchecked, and that setting is reflected with in my fsx.cfg

I belong to a virtual multiplayer flying club and we provide a saved flight for download every week. Other members have no trouble with their downloaded saved flights which always load at the correct TOD.

Could anyone please shed any light on why my FSX-SE, faultless in all other respects, can't load a saved flight at the correct TOD?

 

Many thanks,

 

Phil

There have always been issues with the FSX time but I found the following guidance that might help - https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/1/618453594756226899/

Thank you both, and a happy 4th of July to you too, N99WB.  I wonder if this issue is to do with the 'saved flight' files being saved in FSX, and when loaded in FSX-SE, something, somewhere goes terribly wrong.  Except to say, other of our club members with FSX-SE do not report this issue, it seems exclusive for my enjoyment!

If you use FSUIPC check you haven't enabled the use system time there, too, though it is off by default.
