Your saying there is an error with the GMT clock in FSP...?

Perhaps FSP has also factored in the DST settings?

GMT (or more properly UTC, for aviation purposes) is not subject to DST. No country I know of uses DST in
December. If Greece were
using DST, it would be UTC + 3 hours, not UTC +1 hour. I don't know whether there is an error in FSP's "GMT
clock" or ignorance of what
time zone Greece is in.

[CrashGordon]

Getting back to the origional problem. Greece is in the Eastern European Time Zone.

Eastern European Time (EET)
Standard Time = GMT+2
Summer Time = GMT+3

It can never be UTC +1

yes this is an error with time zones which MS have put it. "FS Real Time" fixes these issues. I now enjoy many flights to Greece.

Ohh.

Eimai mathisi ellinika! :D

[CrashGordon]

The next time I load a flight in Greece, I will check the times in FSX and then compare the offset to that of FSPX.

I'd never noticed that, and probably wouldn't have until I saw the two side by side in the FSPX report.

[CrashGordon]

I have to apologize. I did a flight in Greece. I checked the time and it was UTC +1 hour. It is an FSX problem, not FSPX.

[GreekMan]

FSPX looks like 100% no-bugs.At least so far.I have about 16hrs with it under several circumstance and Im more than satisfied(As it was expected)...I
know that it has already been posted a lot of time but I have to congratulate Dan and all of his team for his exceptional job to my favourite add-on.

[SkyAirWorld]

there is a program to correct the FSX/ FS2004 Times

I think its on AVSIM

[Joeflyer]

Maybe it's called FS Realtime? I've got this program...works very well
