fs2020 and Vatsim possible daylight while night time flying

[Ron Lefebvre 102]

Hi all,

Like most people I assume, I do most of my flying at night.

Is there a way to use Vatsim with Live settings but change the hour to a daytime setting in FS2020.

Click on Preset, select the Live Weather preset, and drag the time to whatever time you’d like.

Don't see why not. Nobody will know.

does not work.

 

The minute you go live players and live air traffic, the weather and time option disappears.

You mention Vatsim though which is something different.

It does work - in the remarks of your flight plan I usually comment that I'm doing a day time set.  However, please remember that for everyone else, it will be their time that they set and 99% of all other users including ATC it is night time.  My point being - use the correct night time lights 🙂

 

It is not advisable to change the weather from Live, however you can modify time to whatever you want.  You can even change it mid-flight in Vatsim and no one is the wiser.

I'm pretty sure when on vatsim you disable live multiplayer....  I think they use their own models via vpilot.  That's basically how it is on PilotEdge which is what I use and recommend.

I have turn multiplayer off

and air traffic to off.

Not sure if I can see anybody else online yet. Will test it some more

OK. That seems to work.

 

Thanks
