Multiplayer Time of day

[N6722c]

Peter,

Is there any way FSUIPC could be made to change the TIME of DAY of a MP session, by forcing a change on the hosting machine.

Using the current FSUIP to program keys to change either Zulu Hours or Local Time hours, does not result in a permanent change -- a few seconds later, the system returns back to the original time.

There must be another clock there somewhere ??

No. If it could wouldn't you be upsetting all the other users, maybe forcing them suddenly into night?

No.

Are you talking about FSX? If so, from what I've read from complaints by Beta testers, this is a function of the way Multiplayer works. You'll need to send a request to Microsoft (to tell_fs@microsoft.com) to ask for an option to force the user's time on the local machine (only). You can never expect a local user to be able to change host settings, that wouldn't make sense.
