Honus Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm using AIFP for my AI flights and I now notice that Washington DC is way off at +12 instead of -5. I tried to change it in the Timezone editor but it doesn't take. I can't find the DC area listed in the timezone editor. Does anyone know how I can get this correct as my flights in and out of here are way off. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Can you use a substitute city like Alexandria, Va. or Bethesda, Md.? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honus Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 No because I don't show airports there. Airports in Maryland and Virginia look to be correct. It looks like the District has been left out of this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honus Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I found the problem! DC should be listed in Virginia, rather than 'DC'. Once I changed its state to Virginia, all works fine. The airports really are in VA and I should have caught that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Must be an error in AIFP data in the latest version. I checked KDCA in my installed version and it was [uTC-5]. Then I got a message my version was outdated, so I downloaded and installed the update to the latest version. With the new version KDCA is [uTC+12]. Stupid me forgot to make a backup... Can be fixed: In the airport list, double-click the faulty airport (eg. Dulles) In the edit window, change the State from "DC" to "Virginia" and click the "Apply Updates" button down below. Fixed. Do the same with Reagan Intl. etc. Hopefully this gets permanently fixed in a new update. [EDIT]See you've already found it while I was writing my post.

mrzippy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yep, DC sure as heck ain't a state.....at least not yet! ;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlogic Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks so much for this post. I've been trying 5 hrs to figure out why AIFP and ADE timezone for DC is +12 hours. This is also the case using FS2004. Now I know why. Good work! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yep, DC sure as heck ain't a state.....at least not yet! ;) Considering the population and income of DC, it damned sure should be! ;) Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Honus Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Considering the population and income of DC, it damned sure should be! ;) Michael Why SHOULD it be? Size and population have nothing to do with statehood. The Constitution states that the nation's capital should be 'apart from other states'. It's a neutral district and should remain so.

So everyone who happens to live there is doomed to be a 2nd class citizen? That doesn't sound constitutional or fair to me. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

I didn't write the Constitution and don't really care if it's a state or not. I don't think it was intended to be populated by permanent residence when it was designed. Anyway, moving right along ...
