MSFS2024 and setting the time

[NeoGeo78]

Hi Paul,

I hope all is well. I seem to be having an issue with setting HH:MM in MSFS2024 (works fine in 2020 etc). In particular:

            // Sets the local time 
            DateTime newDateTime = new DateTime(2024, 7, 1, 4, 05, 0);
            FSUIPCConnection.UTCDateTime = newDateTime;

It seems I can set the Year, Month, and Day, but for some reason, the Hours and Minutes always default to the actual real-world time, preventing me from setting a custom time. Perhaps Microsoft has changed how this feature works in 2024, but I was wondering if you are aware of this issue or know of a possible workaround?

The same issue occurs when using FSUIPCConnection.LocalDateTime.

I’ve tested this with your DLL versions 3.3.8 and the latest 3.3.13, alongside the latest FSUIPC version and the new BETA version that John released this week but still no joy.

I hope the last few week shavent been too stressful for you!

Thanks

I think this is a question for @John Dowson.

My DLL just writes the hours to offset 0x023B and minutes to 0x023C regardless of what sim you're connected to.

I am not sure why this would be - I will take a look sometime next week.

One other obeservaton is I see it very briefly setting the time to the one I specified but then the sim changes the hours and mins to the local real time. Anyhow, thanks for the quick replies - have a good weekend!

I am experiencing this too. I can set the localMinute but not the hour. It seems to default to the local hour.
