Hi, Have a problem that I can't quiet understand. Could someone help shed some light for me please. When I start P3D I have it set to show the scenario screen so I can select my aircraft etc. The problem I have is with the time part. I live in the UK so GMT-time for me my Local time. With the default location of somewhere in the US It will give me the local time there for the start time. But if i select GTM-time it won't select my time (same as on my computer). And also if I set my location to be EGLL (Heathrow) then if I put the GMT-Time to my computer time (which is correct) then it may show it as night time, even if its day outside, but then when I load up the sim the clocks inside the aircraft don't show the time I set as GMT-Time. If it is 09:00gmt and I set 09:00 and click the GMT-Time switch the time will change so I have to reset it to my current time but then the aircraft time may be what the time changed to. I don't quiet understand this GTM-Time toggle and I am getting confused with the time as I can't seem to get my flights correct be cause of it. Anyone be able to give me an understaffing of this or help, if I am doing something wrong. Thanks.

I've been experiencing an issue, specifically a visual artifact in the sky (banding) as per the screenshots below. I've started observing this since v2.4 (no issues in v2.3 and earlier versions). The artifact tend to be more pronounced than what is depicted in the screenshots. The resolution is set to 1920x1080x32 in both Windows and P3Dv2. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I should add that this happens with both default sky textures or with REX4 textures, but I'm convinced the problem isn't related to the textures.

Hello, this is my first time posting on any forum so I hope you can forgive any mistakes that I will make. Getting started, keep in mind that this is a completely fresh install of P3D v2.5 and a newly generated Prepar3D.cfg with no changes made. It is hard for me to describe what the actual problem is, other than the config looks very weird and much different than other people's P3D configs. Other peoples CFG's look much different and have more lines of code. They are also not pushed together like mine is. Below is my Prepar3D.cfg I made sure that the paste did NOT alter the file in any way, this is the way it looks for me. If anyone knows what is going on here and how I can fix it, I would greatly appreciate a response.
