March 14, 20188 yr As those of us who live in the United States know, Daylight Savings Time just started up again this past weekend. Usually, I would notice this update take place in my flight simulator. However, that is no longer the fact, and now I have to base my flights off of GMT rather than local time. I know it's not a *huge* issue, but it's just one of those things that I'd like to fix because it's rather annoying. Matthew Lewandowski
March 14, 20188 yr Administrators I think in the first page of settings (General) there is a box to check about FSX time is system time.

March 14, 20188 yr I believe both FS2004 and FSX "update" to DST based on the old standard of last Sunday in October and first Sunday in April. The new dates leave a "gap" so for a few weeks the sim update is "off". I do as Charlie suggests...turn off the DST update and go off my system time.

March 15, 20188 yr Administrators OK, sorry I may have misunderstood your post about having it set. One last thing I can think of is your default flight. Are you using the ultralight over Friday Harbor or have you set up your own default flight in your time zone?

I'm just asking because I think I saw a post about this several years ago on one of the flightsim sites.

March 15, 20188 yr Administrators 21 minutes ago, SoloPilot said: No, I live in Tampa, FL. OK, this is only a suggestion. You may want to redo your default flight to a Tampa area airport. Maybe just have the ultralight trike sitting on the airport parking spot with the engines running (if that's what you want) hit the ; key and name the flight as "New default flight" or something similar Then check the box that says "Save Flight as Default". This MAY have the effect of syncing your clock and flightsim. Remember, this is only a suggestion. Use your Sim as you see fit.
