KirkR Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Trying to determine how the date/time in the FMC is determined/obtained/updated. I know how to update the values on the timer in the aircraft, but not clear on how to update this in the FMC. I know it can be updated on actual aircraft in the Proline, but it gives a message that updates are N/A (not allowed?) when I try something like 29JUN22. Thanks for any guidance.

It matches the date and time from the sim, in the current year from the system clock, as obtained via the simulated GNSS receivers (I assume).

KirkR Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 So X-Plane doesn't use the MacOS date/time (which is accurate)? Hmmm, I will investigate further. Thanks for providing that feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for providing that feedback. It will, if you select “Track real-world date & time” from the Flight Configuration window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkR Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 My apology for the bandwidth on this one. I just never noticed that checkbox with the time of day/night for the flight dialog. Again, I appreciate your help ... I think I've done 50+ flights, last night was LGA to DTW, then MBS to ORD. Learning something new with every flight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike306 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I to had that question thanks for the fix. I always thought that adjusting the time of day changed the way to change to night and day never saw the custom button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
