Real Time

I have been reading other post's regarding setting the FS flight time to match the flight you have picked. My issue with this is I use fs realtime. I use this to avoid the annoying Time shifts in fs9, also I fly 100% online so I need real times when reporting to ATC and it's handy predicting my real world arrival time at a glance in the PMDG FMC. Will my FS flightkeeper pireps be rejected if I use real time?

ahh...I fly on-line all the time too and NEVER have to give any time reports to ATC...(Unless you mean for Oceanic ATC's for ocean crossings )

I'm just a new guy around here, and by no means represent management, but I am fairly sure your PIREP's will be rejected if you don't use the proper time (& DATE I've been told)

I see your in London (im in Cornwall), when crossing the Atlantic, you could simply do what I do and fly the scheduled flight time and then when you have to report the Expected time of Arrival at a certain Lat/Long, just work out how long it will take and whack that onto the local time

It has to be at the specified time but if you are flying on-line I saw somewhere that one pilot uses the schedule hour but use the real time minutes that way it is more easy. You always know the difference between your time and real time (hours).
