Simviation Forums

I wonder if the timezones are correct. Or if there is something i have missed ?! When I start
a flight in Munich I would expect to have gmt+1 but
flightsim shows two hours difference. like Munich local
time 6:00 gmt 4:00. Why ? I thought this  could be related
to daylight saving times but when I switch between seasons
it

Fs runs in UTC, just like all airlines. UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time. Great Britain (GMT) is one hour ahead of UTC during summer. Munich is 1 hour ahead of the UK. That means Munich  is 1 hour ahead plus another hour due to the UK being in summer, 1 hour ahead of UTC, so Munich is 2 hours ahead. So as all flights are in UTC (not for pax, to confusing) your German flights will be listed as departing at 04:00 UTC (06:00  local)
When the clocks go back for winter, the UK becomes on par with UTC and then you have only one hour difference.
Get your head around that your are better than me. I have to work in UTC, and still get it wrong

That should help you figure out time zones a bit.

I thought GMT includes summer and winter time.

It seems that flightsim doesn
