flight date as it occurs in the End of flight report

[poden]

This whole date subject seems to be confusing, and there actually could be some sort of FSP bug too. Here's my experience. I performed a series of hops from Alaska/Aleutian islands over to Kamchatka (Russia) then down through Japan, the Phillipines, and then back east across the south Pacific (in my flying boat). I have FSP set to "use FS9 date." At first, the date logged for each hop in FSP matched the FS9 date. But then I crossed the International Date Line, heading west towards Russia. At this point, the date logged in my FSP pilot's log JUMPED BACKWARDS by about 2 months.The entire time I was flying in the Western Pacific, the logged FSP date remained out of synch with the FS9 date by about two months, even though I reset the date a few times in FS9 at the start of my flights. Then on the hop on which I recrossed the International Date Line heading east, the FSP date snapped back into synch with the FS9 date.


Is it possible that FSP has some sort of problem getting the correct date from FS9? Could it be a problem in the Eastern Hemisphere, but not in the Western Hemisphere?
