Updating date per month
-
Hi
I would like to see the feature where the FTL month will update with the real world month every month. This is so you don't end up flying summer light settings with winter weather if using live weather. This won't need to affect the 4 on 4 off cycle as the month could just be changed to stay within a month of the real world light settings

This is already a feature of Fly the Line to a certain extent. When generating the schedules, there is an option to select a "Start Month". By default, this is set to July so that there is the maximum number of daylight hours in the simulator (at least in the Northern Hemisphere). After generating the schedules with the Start Month set to July, Fly the Line will set the date in the simulator to the 1st of July when dispatching the flight in the simulator. Once the day one flights are completed, the simulator date will be set to the 2nd of July for the day two flights, etc.
One feature that doesn't exist in Fly the Line is that there isn't an option to set "Real World Date". I.e. its not possible to start the schedules on today's date (31st July). That would be a nice feature though, and I've added that to our internal feature request tracker.
