From what I understand, this doesn't effect flying on VATSIM - the controllers can't tell what time of day you have your simulator set up, and they probably don't care.Cody
Correct
Cody Unruh wrote:...does changing the in-sim time to something other than what time it actually is effect how weather is handled? Cody
Nope. Unless you are using a weather program to intentionally "play back" historical weather, you should have real-time real-world weather regardless of where the sim-time-clock is set.
