January 20, 20251 yr This utility offers a workaround to the MSFS 2024 bug / behavior where the in-sim clock stays locked to real-time / system time or a fixed offset, even if you pause or use sim rate acceleration. This is unlike MSFS 2020, where pausing would pause the in-sim time, and using sim rate would accelerate / decelerate the progression of in-sim time accordingly. It also offers the ability to select an app which will be automatically killed when sim rate is more than 1x, and restarted when it drops back to at most 1x (e.g. RealTurb, or other sim-rate sensitive apps). This utility only adjusts an internal variable of MSFS 2024 which is the "seconds offset off of system time", and won't resolve other side-effects of that behavior / bug, like the incorrect fuel usage of first-party aircraft, where present. Not by design, anyway! Like MSFS_AutoFPS, this utility does its work using undocumented methods through runtime memory editing. My attempts to resolve this bug using the native SimConnect variables and events was fruitless, as those appear to be all broken as of the time of writing. You can read more here. Hopefully Asobo / Microsoft will just fix this bug / behavior and make it work like MSFS 2020, and this utility will no longer be necessary, just like my Airport Override Checker for MSFS 2024 utility. Fingers crossed! This utility is open source under the MIT license. Find it on GitHub. Join the conversation here or on Discord.

January 24, 20251 yr Author Updated to add the (MS Store and Steam) SU1 Beta memory offsets for faster initialization. You don't need the update to use the tool with the SU1 Beta, but version 0.3.6 will initialize a little faster with it.

July 30, 2025Jul 30 Im running the newest SU3 Beta at 4X sim rate and its still not fixed... UTC is advancing at normal time 😞 Edited July 30, 2025Jul 30 by UAL4life
