Weird time bug

[wolfc]

Please take a look at this flight: http://www.fspassengers.com/?action=va&listflight=314

I was supposed to arrive at 23:41 GMT, but I bogused my approach and declared a missed approach.
So turning back to the airport I had still hopes to land within the 30 minute penalty. Only to find that I arrived 1 day too early .

Does this count as an easter egg freebie?

Please move to support forum.

I disagree that it's the time zone bug. That relates to flights covering multiple time zone's where FS2004 changes GMT/ZULU when
switching time zone instead of local time. KSFO & KLAX are in the same time zone.

Is it possible to keep track of the date within FS2004?
Will this happen to every flight which go over midnight GMT?

From the FSUIPC bible:
023E Day number in Year in FS (counting from 1)

It does't state whether this is local day or GMT day. Could this be the problem?

But does FsP care what actual day you land the plane? Was that taken into account? Let's say I take off on the 7th at 10:00Z and set my arival time
for 11:30Z, but instead of flying for 1h30m and landing, I fly for 25h30m and land at 11:30Z on the 8th. (Ok, I'll be hard pressed to find a plane
that can stay airborn for 25h30m, but let's just pretend it's possible. ) Would FsP know the difference?

Hmm, that's doable. Just sit on the tarmac for 24 hours.
