Ranbi2Delta 2 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi there, Something I just noticed today is that all the time zones for airports in countries that don't observe Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time) are out by +1 hour. For example, Mumbai airport (VABB) is incorrectly indicating UTC+6:30, whereas it should be UTC+5:30 (Indian Standard Time). The same is true for Dubai International, which is indicating UTC+5:00, whereas it should be UTC+4:00 (Gulf Standard Time). As far as I can tell this issue is affecting every airport that doesn't follow DST worldwide. Could this be addressed? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I don't see that issue here, VABB indicates UTC + 5:30: Please login to display this image. and OMDB UTC + 04:00 Please login to display this image. the same time offsets appear in the planner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranbi2Delta 2 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'd like to add that I'm using the latest version of PFPX with the latest Navigraph navdata cycle (1607). Could this be a navdata issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted July 18, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 18, 2016 That's strange. Do you know where the tables are taken from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 The timezones appear to be set C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\Timezones.dat However this does not define the UTC offset, I'm not sure where that data gets called from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have established that users with incorrect Timezones have an incorrect timezone.dat file. Download and extract the attached to C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data with PFPX closed. Timezones.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranbi2Delta 2 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks, Stephen. I installed your timezone file and it seemed to work fine this morning. However, when I opened up PFPX just now, my time zones have again reverted to the incorrect +1 hour times. Replacing the file once again doesn't seem to do anything now. This is really strange... seems to be an issue with PFPX itself. Anyone else experiencing this? It would be great if we could get an official word on this. Regards. P. S. My PC is currently set to Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Also, is there a debug report generated by PFPX that I can submit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have created the problem here by deleting the contents of the TEMP folder, which generally forces a download from the server for weather/notam's/ots. Restoring the files does not get me back to the correct offsets, ticket raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budlake 16 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hello All, Are there any developments on this? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranbi2Delta 2 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 I just downloaded the 1.27 update to PFPX last night. I would still get this issue from time to time in version 1.26. I'll report back once I've used the new version a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budlake 16 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 It is the same in V1.27, time zones appear to have been shifted 1 zone east (i.e.advanced 1hr); EGLL shows "(+1:00) GMT Standard Time" For what it might be worth my system is on GMT (UTC to some), not BST.

FlightSimSoft.com 283 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Time zone data seem correct: Until October 30th summer time applies and is UTC+1 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hello Christian, In some instances such as Western European Time the UTC offset is incorrect. Lisbon for example should be UTC + 1 for DST, same as London Please login to display this image. whereas PFPX indicates UTC + 2 Please login to display this image.

Budlake 16 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hi Stephen, Does this mean that PFPX is wrongly assuming that all time zones have moved by 1hr because the UK is on BST? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
