Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello Jack,You wont be able to upload any pictures at the moment as there is a problem with the upload path.What happens if you load the default flight at KSEA does it start during the day.

JJJackson 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi ShaunFirst, I really appreciate you trying to hel me, a beginner.FSX: Default plane (Trike) at KSEA, time 13.00. Starts up in day view BUT after showing the day view screen for a second there is a REALOAD of the scenery and it shows night view.FS9: Default plane (C172SP) at KSEA time 13.00. Starts up in day view BUT after showing the day view screen for a second there is a REALOAD of the scenery and it shows night view.That is, the same thing happens in both FSX/FS9, scenery loads and reloads after a second.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hello Jack,I'm very mystified at this behaviour.Do you have you Flight Sim set to system time or the other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJackson 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 HiIt' set to system time.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hello Jack,Okay try setting the option to the other setting then change the day dusk night and try..Can you set it to any time any place and it would be correct. You see day time at day and night time at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJackson 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi ShaunStarting on EGLL with default plane and settings NOT using system time.FSXDay OK. Loads day and realoads and shows day.Night. Loads night and reloads and shows day.FS9Same thing as for FSXNext test. Started FSX at EGLL in day view and everything was ok but it still reaoaded.Choose "World" from the meny bar and changed time to "Night". Program loadad and showed night view for a second,reloaded and showed the day view again!!! When I checked the "Settings" it had changed back to "Day"!!!!Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJackson 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi ShaunNew testing.Tried dusk/dawn but day is the only view that shows up.Deleted my fsx.cfg and restarted fsx. No change, still ONLY day view.The program resets the time to day regardless of what I do. BUT still the strange thing is that it loads the RIGHT time of day, then reloads and changes it all back to day view.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hello Jack,If you have system time it normally loads at the time it is, so if its dark o'clock it will be dark if its daytime it will show daytime.Other than that I've never come across this before.

JJJackson 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi ShaunI guess my only chance is to uninstall EVERYTHING and reinstall it from scratch.Thanks anyway.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJackson 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 HiI'm suspecting that this problem is caused by VISTA. Took a wild chance and changed the battery in my PC, reset the system time in BIOS but....no luck.Someone told me that Windows Live OneCare could cause problems with the system clock. so I uninstalled that program but..... still no luck.I keep coming back to the fact that FS9/FSX loads the scenery and shows the scenery for a second in the RIGHT time view, then reloads and resets everything to day view. Just the other day it resetted it to night view. What makes it to reload the scenery once it has loaded it and set it to a specific view?????

JJJackson 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi ShaunAs I told you in a private mail I need to apologuise about this problem this is the status right now:I have contacted Microsoft Support about the problem because I remember that the problem occurred after we started the "summer time" here. After checking my Outlook 2007 I could see that ALL my appointments were in disorder!!! I have downloaded the "fix" for daylight saving BUT still NO change in FS9/FSX AND my system clock is still wrong. I live in Spain which is GMT+1 BUT my system including FS9/FSX puts me GMT+2 regardless of what I do. So for me it's a VISTA problem and NOT a FS9/FSX and absolutely NOT an Aerosoft scenery problem.I'm waiting for a solution from the MS support department and will post their answer as soon as possible.Sorry to have wasted your time.Jack J JacksonSpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hello Jack,Dont worry about that, I noted that a flight Sim program I used suddenly kept telling me I was arriving late as soon as my computer changed to Summer Time. Which now makes it no fun to use till the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
