Setting date and time via FSUIPC

[frazer84]

Hi!

I'm having problem setting date and time via FSUIPC.

I can set the values ok, and they reflect correctly in the World>Time and Season-dialog in FS9, but the visual time doesn't change.

If I enter the Time and Season-dialog, where my set values are seen, and then press ok, the set time and date will be set after a texture reload, but not directly when setting the values via FSUIPC.

I'm setting the following values:

0238 1 Hour of local time in FS (0–23)

0239 1 Minute of local time in FS (0–59)

023A 1 Second of time in FS (0–59)

023E 2 Day number in Year in FS (counting from 1)

0240 2 Year in FS

Thanks!

Regards,

Daniel

You must set the Zulu time. That's the prime time conytrol I think.

FSUIPC can't do much more than write these things for you. It doesn't control what FS does about it, but programs like FSRealTime seem to work fine by setting both sets of times.
