Bug in the FS2004 GMT: Meridional or Microsoft MilkshakeTime?

[Paulo Laport]

Setting all dificulties to higher level and with the most FS realistic aircraft I could find (FeelThere ERJ 145 or 737-400), I'm trying hard to
grant a superior status at the FsPassengers, but when crossing time fuses the FS2004 modify the GMT adding or subtracting in one
hour assuming that GMT is a Local Time...

Consequently, I'm in advance or late in the scheduled arrival. In adavanced time I can slow the speed, but burnning one hour of fuel can
take my 45`reserve and at the end loose points...

As all knows GMT is a world standart time to all sort of navigations, but Mr Bill Gates invented his own private G.Mixed T., which in fact
even with my experience in the real world navigation is unpredictible when the clock will start this crazy Greenwich Milkshake & Microsoft
Time.

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean with a regional jet without automatic thrusts you must have to control it at every moment, specially with Noth
Pole's winds quick changes and the issue is to arrive at the plotted time in your navigation plan.

Talking here with a friend who really owns a private jet Gulfstream V and normally travels from Brazil to Europe/USA in a none stop flight,
for my surprise he told me are'nt unable to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator, principaly land the default Learjet, which in his words seems
to be a rustic Donald the Duck Airplane... but outside in the real world he do perfectly !

There is a way to correct this Mcrosoft Phenomenon?...

Thank you in a advance for any help and best regards,

Paulo Laport

Yes, the handling of time zones in FS has always been a bit of a farce. There's a freeware utility here -

- that claims to correct both the internal time within FS and also smooth out the time zone errors.

Check if you havce instaled the latest vrsion of FsP

I also got this problem until the last release of FsP which just count your actual flight time(time elapsed since release of parking brakes).
Thus with this version you should also get rid of Bill's time warp
