Time conversion bug


Recommended Posts

Serious time conversion bug when setting up flights using the World Map.

 

MSFS misinterprets the UTC time setting as a local time setting, even when the time zone is known. The sim loads up hours off from the time that was set in the World Map.

 

Intended time: 1043 CST/1643Z

Time actually loaded: 1644CST/2244Z

Sorry but the sim is correct. Check the time displayed on the world map again: 10:43 AM (4:43 PM UTC).

The time displayed on the menu is 4:43 PM UTC. The time loaded in sim is 4:43 PM Chicago time (in the screenshot, 10:43PM UTC). The value set for UTC time is being loaded as local time.

 

I tried to reproduce the error by changing it to 4:00 AM Central, but it loaded the correct time. I was able to bypass the issue by changing the time in-sim to the intended time.
