Dateline Problems - Problems crossing to the west

Cal Jordan (CVA371) · Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 4:54 pm

Well I have tried all I can think of but can't cross the dateline to the west. I was running a new install of FS9.1, Lear 45, FSAcars, FSUIPC 3.82. I did the same flight Frank did NFTP > NFNL, and no joy. I didn't go online so that I didn't have to run Squawkbox. I even reinstalled FSAcars from a new download. I have gone through FS9.cfg FSUIPC.cfg. and turned off time syncing, didn't help so I turned it back on. I works fine for time zones, it's just that *&%$# Dateline! Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. (*&%$# = Gall-darn)

I just finished a 956 mi flight north to south with a time duration of 3:53 and piked up an extra 6:07 as recorded in my log ???

Hello Cal
I have been thinking about this and my recommendation is for you to set your flight to UTC. If you use a time sync great, just make sure it syncs to UTC time. See if that works and let me know.

Ya I have been trying with Time sync on and off. Not too sure how to sync to UTC though.

First check to see if you FSUIPC is set to keep FS sync to real time (misc page of FSUIPC). If so, untick it. You do not want to sync to system time. If you use FSINN check to see that your time sync in your FSCopilot is set to ZULU (UTC) time. Not real time. Check if you have any other time sync tools in your FS

Okay non are syncing to real time. but it still jumps to the next day. I'll reinstall FS9 and try. I did try with just FS9 not online and still the same results.

One thing to note, any software (add on) that is in your modules folder of FS will load when you start your Flight-sim program. Using FSINN as an example, you do not have to be online (the Inn copilot is running) and the time sync feature would also be running if activated. Also want to check this in case you may have forgotten that you installed any other types of module (i.e. Time zinc) a long time ago.
