SYMPTOMS
When you have Microsoft Flight Simulator set to use system time, the simulation may not use the correct date and time.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if you select a flight that was previously saved. The flight time defaults to the time that the flight was saved.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, do one of the following:
 * Manually set the date and time to system time in the game.

-or-
 * Quit and then restart the game.

To manually change to system time in the game, follow these steps:
 * 1) While you are flying in Flight Simulator, press ALT+O.
 * 2) Point to Settings, and then click General.
 * 3) Click System time, and then click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
