Do you mean that the in-simulation displayed time differs from the time that your system displays? Or do you mean that you actually observe the sunrise with a significant difference? Bear in mind that at the sunrise the Sun position relative to the actual skyline (angular distance above the highest obstacle on the horison in the direction of the Sun) might be different because the skyline in the virtual world might not be precise; however, flightgear should correctly model the Sun position on the sky sphere (azimuth/elevation angles). > The BIOS and system time agree with "WWV" and an Atomic Clock.

I assume you have the local scenery downloaded for it. Vassilii ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
