I just checked it against my memory and I found it to be 1 hour off.
It was 2PM local and if I hit the "Clock Time" button shows fgfs =
"local 13:28") it is currently 15:29 , hit Noon and it shows 12:59
Afternoon shows 15:42 (would be wrong)and Dusk shows 18:32 (would be
correct) finally hit Evening and it shows 19:26 (real time ##:34)
Turns out Afternoon and Evening display the wrong minutes. Sorry about
the possible errors in my quoting time. A fast run down shows that all
of the times do not hold the minutes correctly. The light/dark does
work correctly. Current System time is 15:38 fgfs show Afternoon as 15:42.
Not a major concern but a noticeable goof
