Problem with Offset 0246 in FS2002

[tomcontr]

Hi Pete.

Recently, I have been working on a time Sync Utility for FS.

I was able to finish it, but I found that the offset 0246, that gives me the Bias, In some cases on FS2002, it gives bad number.

For example in NZAA (New Zeland, Aukland), it should be 12, and the offset gives me 13.

This just happened with some airports or locations in the world, and only in FS2002, in FS2004 every thing seems to be fine.

I don’t know if this is a bug, or may be I’m doing something wrong.

I’ve test this with FSIPC 3.45 and 3.48.

Hope that you could give me a hand with this.

Best Regards.

Thomas

It won't make any difference what version of FSUIPC you use. FSUIPC just provides you with the value from FS. It doesn't do anything with it. It knows nothing about it.

I suggest you search for FS Real Time. It includes BGLs to correct most if not all of the time zone bugs in FS.

Also be aware that the seasonal differences will change this. It isn't a Zone offset, as you seem to be interpreting it as, but a local time offset, so it will change in areas where there's a Summer Time difference too. Possibly your FS2002 and FS2004 were set for different seasons?
