As I said in another post, I am inebriated, so I will answer your question tomorrow.

You should be getting your normal time wherever you are.  Seems really strange to me, but then again, I'm sloshed . . . ;D

I feel happy, but that's about the extent of my own inebriation.
Great edit, Bob.

I live in the UK and my local time on the game is always 1 hour different from GMT - which doesn't really make sense. Is it because of Daylight savings or something? ???

:o

Blimey Liam - you may live in the UK but on which planet?

In the Spring we put the clocks forward by 1 hour - so it's then 1 hour different from GMT. In the Autumn (Fall ) we... need I go on??

Ok Liam I just read in some site that there is a bug in FS2k2  that Microsoft set the difference in time to 4 hours between Europe and USA instead of the 5 we have now. This can cause problems with AI flight plans that will cause an  AI plane to come in 1 hour later or 1 hour earlyer that it should have, but they said this is something you have to put up with.....I'm no expert just quoting what i read..... 8)  8)  8)

It has actually been like it ever since i got the game, which is a long while ago - well over a year.
And i'm pretty sure it's been an hour different since i've had it. :-[
