Hi Gang,
Just somebody tell me if you should be doing your flight at the specified time it states when you book it?
Many Thanks

Jason,
Setup your flight in Flight Simulator with the time of the flight you took.

thts true mike but i do a lot off cross atlantic flights and incase ATC decide to show up and i have to postion report i find it easier to have FS set to realtime as in zulu+1 in the UK for me as that is what VATSIM ATC use and it makes postion reporting so much easier.
i realise people have written small programs that can convert the time for us but i just rather do it that way myself.
regards terry

John,
You have confused me slightly by your reply
I'll enclose an example then I might understand it better. I booked TAY047 yesterday and the times where EBLG 1050 - VHHH 2300 so I set my FS Time to 1050 even though it was evening in UK, so was I correct in setting my FS Time to 1050?
Though what Terry has said is a valid point about having the correct time when crossing Atlantic incase ATC do show up then your going to be very confused by the giving the times for the position reports. good point Terry
Rgds

You're right Jason, FS time set to 1050 is the right way.
As for vatsim ATC, what's so hard to look right under in your screen and see what's the real time. You know what your time is comparing to Zulu or not? I don't see that problem
Just a little calculation and comparing flight time with the real time
