Time Zone Fixer

How FSRealtime works with SimElite Solutions Time Zone Fixer?

For everyone who already has FSRealtime, It is a common question and wants to know the answer.

If I want to answer your question in a simple way I can say: FSRealtime and SimElite Solutions Time Zone Fixer work besides each other and they don't interfere each others works. FSRealtime will use SimElite Solutions Time Zone Fixer corrected Time Zones to bring the most accurate local time you will have in your flight.

Now let me explain how these addons work:
In a simple word: Time Zones define the offset from UTC time. When we say New York has UTC-5h time zone, it means whatever UTC time is now, New York local time is 5 hours behind than UTC time.

SimElite Solutions Time Zone Fixer install on your Flight Simulator computer and it contains real accurate Time Zone files (define UTC[+][-] offsets) that flight simulators (FSX and Prepa3D) use to show the correct local time on each point of the globe.
FSRealtime is an application that installed on your simulator computer OR client computer (second computer with networked configuration uses to install some external applications for Flight Simulator) and for each flight it monitors the UTC time of your Flight Simulator and if there will be an unexpected UTC time shift (because in FSX, there is a bug and sometimes UTC time also change in some situations), it will force flight simulator to use the correct UTC time.

It means, FSRealtime take care of UTC time and SimElite Solutions Time Zone Fixer take care of globes Time Zones.
When you first install FSX or Prepar3D, the Time Zones are not correct at all! there are hundreds of wrong Time Zones there.

Before SimElite Solutions Time Zone Fixer, FSRealTime team had to use an older version of Time Zone Files that fixed some part of Time Zones along with their application BUT it was not perfect at all. It could correct some issues but it wasn't perfect.
Now SimElite Solutions at the moment has the most accurate Time Zone ever exist and the most important part of this project is its support and with the regular updates it will keep Flight simulators Time Zones in the most accurate way.
