Aircraft clock problem
Apr 27th, 2012 at 8:26am
Print Post  
Hello,

I would like to change the time set on my plane.

Right now, I don't know why the clock indicate that time.

My PC click is about 10H00
My local time on the sim is 10H00

And the clock of the plane indicate : 22H32z ! What the mess ???
Normally, I can change the clock via the POS INIT page (but normally I can't change the minutes but only the hours).

Any solution?

Thanks

Very strange...

On mine it indicates the time that I set on the FSX set up page.

The time corresponds to the time indication on the HDI, at every way point when you select the Route Data selector on the EFIS. It estimates the time the aircraft will reach the waypoints. The time on the HDI is ZULU.

Mine indicate all the time the GMT time... When youre flying in the USA, it's very hard... That should be ZULU time and normally we must be allowed to set it via POS INIT page.

The 767's clock always shows GMT time, a very useful function when flying long distance flights, crossing several time zones. If you want to know the local time during any point of the route, point (don't click!) the mouse's arrow on [CHR] button (Chronometer Mode), then slide the arrow to the center of the clock. The Local Time will appear in a new box inside the clock.



Setting the clock:

You can use both PC system time or a preselected time, as you prefer.

1) Open FSX [Free Flight] window;

2) Click on [SETTINGS]




2a) Click on [GENERAL]



3) If you prefer to use your PC time, check the box [Use system time for Free Flight] > [OK]



4) If not, click [Cancel] and go back to [Free Flight window];

5) Then, click on [Current Time And Season] > [Change];



6) [SELECT TIME AND SEASON] > OK.



Bon voyage! Smiley

That don't work... I point the CHR button (without clicking), but what do you mean by "slide" the mouse, you mean move then the mouse on the center of the clock ?

Yes, that was what I meant. After to point to [CHR] button, move the pointer (arrow) to any point on the clock display.
