[LOGGED 2556] Clock and Local Time

[Tom Stian]

Hi

Minor thing, but when selecting LOC on the clock the local time just freeze.

Have tried to look at the FCOM, but dident find any that I missed. Did i miss anything ?

I too have a problem with the clock. It reads local time the same as the UTC.

Local time must be set manually.

My computer time is correct, and I am using real world time on X-plane. 

So how do I do that?

Hi all, the clock local time is not working. It should be set manually by pressing "mode" button 2 seconds, then adjusting the hours/min/sec.

Pushing "mode" for 2 sec works (the hour starts blinking) but there is no way to adjust the time ("+" or "-" keys do nothing)

It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have the correct local time...

Thanks!

Same problem.

The clock local time behaviour is under investigation.  As you may have seem, the manuals are pretty weak on details for how local time interacts with GPS regulated UTC time. Will hopefully have more to report in a couple of days.

In the mean time, the inside info is nobody ever uses local time, as it's totally pointless.  It doesn't have a magic ability to sync to local time for the location, it's just a basic clock! Unless you only fly patterns in your local time zone, it's a bit of a waste of time :-)
