I am not concerned about a per second time but it would be nice when you
  hit Noon it would set the sun cycle to Noon and then adjust to the
system time.  If it is the Airport location that determines the time in
24 or 12 hour time - no problem!  However, it does seem if the real time
is 12:00 PM (noon) the time should not show FGFS 12:20 (an example only)
By the way the angle of the sun seems correct.


Hi Don,

Don't forget that these "time" settings are based on sun angle for your location.  When you request "noon", FlightGear is finding the time of day where the sun is at it's highest position in the sky (for your location.)  This is rarely going to be at 12:00pm for any location.
