Thanks for the comments
Please note that I am in CST (basically Houston, TX) and my system time
is set by NTP "tick.uh.edu" so it is corrected to this time. However,
FlightGear time will let me set AM Morning with the beginning of the sun
rise but the minutes are off by about 8 minutes (as I remember) from the
real time.
The BIOS and system time agree with "WWV" and an Atomic Clock.
The Airport difference could be a source of the problem. Does IAH
(Houston) exist?
Thanks!
