FS9 Time set

Postby MidEx812 » Tue Jun 07, 2005 7:01 pm

When I first installed FS9, the time on the game was automatically set to real time and date.  Now, every time I start the game, it is set at 12:15:15, and July 26th, 2003.  Any help?

Goto Settings>General-and in the time box tic 'system time' and see if that helps.

If 'flight time' is tic'd then the time is that of your default flight.

I always have to set my time when I start FS9.  My  BIOS time is correct, my XP system time is correct, but FS9 does it's own thing. I have system time selected, but I aways start at 22:00.  Any ideas? The time has now become part of my aircraft startup sequence :-/

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

is there some way I can get the time to stay true to my time zone?  I live in central time zone, and the default flight always is always in the pacific time zone.  So, when I switch to airports in my time zone, the time is two hours off.

There's nothing wrong with your "system time". My clock on my computer keeps perfect time and the flight sim loads up and displays the correct time. However, I lose 10-15 min. every hour on the flight sim. (the Aircraft clock). It dosent matter which clock I use or which plaine I'm flying I always get there early. :o
