HiFlyer, You were so right about the sunset.......!! Just for info for everyone the time is based on a 24 hour clock, so to set it to say 18.00 hrs it would be 0.75 (18.00 divided by 24 = 0.75). Don't forget that this is a decimal calculation not hours and minutes, so for 18:30 hrs for example you would need to divide 18.5 by 24 = 0.77 (not 18.3 divided by 24 which would be 0.76 and give a time of 18:18 hrs!). If you also want to set the lcd clock on the Cessna 172 (and others if they have a clock) then you can do this by changing the [initialValue][42124.0] in the relevant aircraft .tmd file. The default value is 42124 which is 11:42 hrs (don't ask me why they chose this time as it doesn't tie up with the default TOD which is 13:20hrs) and the value is the number of seconds from 12:00 midnight, so to set it to 18:00 hrs the value would be [initialValue][64800.0] If you set the TOD to about 22:00 hrs you will get a nice moonlit scene, with not a scrap of light polution in sight. Not easy to fly VFR though, but it can be done (shame we don't have a Lysander to practice with!) Have fun and like HiFlyer say's "Its guaranteed you will gape at how gorgeous the clouds can look as the sun sets......." Dave (ddkeo)

Ah, I forgot to look there! ( I should have known that with all the other flightsims that I have!) Many thanks for your speedy reply. Regards, Dave (ddkeo)

Hi HiFlyer, Just tried to reset the TOD in the suisse.tmc file, but I can only find the following line near the bottom of the file: [float64][default_time][0.55]> I tried changing this and and restarting Aerofly FS, but it seems to make no difference (what should it actually do?). I have checked the clock on the Cesnna 172, but it still shows the time starting at 11:42.00 when loading. Just to confirm, I am running ver. 1.0.0.9 Any idea's as there only appears to be the one suisse.tmc file in my Aerofy FS directories. Thanks, Dave (ddkeo)
