tommyeng Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Is it only my FSX Steam installation that get winter time offsets all of a sudden, while at least European winter time is introduced on October 27? What can you do? Tommy Engman ESNU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Do you have "Use System Time" checked in your settings? Is the time actually off by 1 hour in your Sim? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The FSX programming used the then current time to switch to/from DST as defined by the U.S. This was in the 2005 time frame. The switch to/from DST today has changed. I expect that Steam hasn't changed the originally programmed switching time. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science!

tommyeng Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have system time checked and just one hour offset. I don't recognize this from last spring or fall for that matter. But now in october... Tommy Engman ESNU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnuss Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 How do you cope with this? I ignore it for the short time it's a problem, or I set the time manually, or I set a different time zone. I sure can't change the program behavior. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will follow (?) your example and fly in september for a while. Thaks for responding! Tommy Engman ESNU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
