PMDG 777 can't keep time

Featured Replies

The PMDG 777 can't keep time properly. According to the FMC, I'm arriving at a waypoint in the past.

Anytime during your flight did you pause the flight or use time acceleration?

Yes I used time acceleration. But other aircraft can manage time acceleration and real world time...?

I use time accelration just fine with the 777. Never noticed this bug; the time is correct in the top right corner, so I guess it's just a rare situation or I don't know.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

I asked the same question to your post on the PMDG777 forum:

But other aircraft with time acceleration work fine?

Sounds more like PMDG is doing their own weird things again instead of following the SDK

Edited by Tuskin38

So your not keeping current Zulu time for your flights via time acceleration (which no judgement, but that's your choice). And your complaining that the clock is no longer accurate vs the FMC? I guess I'm confused, is correct time important or not? While I agree that it should work correctly, I find it weird that real time sync isn't important in some ways but also very important in others.
