FSX Time and Weather Problem

Postby BE58D » Wed Nov 28, 2012 5:29 pm

Ok, everytime I load FSX... System time and FSX time don't correlate.  Also, earlier... I loaded FSX and went to 'fly' and the sky was just overcast (I use real-time weather), it was actually pouring down rain at this time! I'm guessing this has to do with the system and FSX times not correlating.  Any help would be appreciated!!!

Over the years I've got used to the fact that "Fight Sim Real Weather", and "Real Real Weather", are two entirely different experiences...

I no longer expect Miracles!... ;D..!

I take it as it comes...rain or shine!... ::)..!

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
