Countdown timer - Jumps forward
-
Hi,
I've got an issue in commencing a flight where once everything is loaded, the aircraft is at the gate and going through the dispatch process (Simbrief flightplan confirmed/synced). After starting the software, the MSFS2024 sim time synchronises as expected to the start of the pre-flight time. Then after approx. 30 seconds it jumps forward to pushback time and I'm late. This is constant, tried rebooting, reloading and reinstalling FSUIPC.Am I missing something in the setup flow?

Hi Sapper145 - I'm not 100% sure what could be causing this. Are there any other add-ons that are running that manage or integrate with the sim time in some way shape or form? I think "something" is changing the time forwards as Fly the Line reads the sim time and bases a lot of it's calculations from that so the only thing, as far as I can tell, that would cause this behaviour, is the time being changed.
You could try starting a flight, setting up your Fly the Line flight and then looking at the clock in your aircraft to see if this changes at all (after the 30 seconds you mention). That may be a good first step. If the time doesnt change but you still see the error, it may be worth submitting a ticket and I'll take a look at your log file and see if anything untowards is happpening in there.
Let me know how you get on.

Just to add - the only time I could recreate this issue is if I clicked Live time in MSFS2024 after setting up the flight in Fly the Line. This changed the time and then made me late in Fly the Line. Not sure if that helps but I thought I would mention it.

And its back again. saving in flight conditions, either pre-set or custom or with real time not enabled and then saving is not making a difference. It starts off the flight and resets the time to the correct pre-flight timing (for me 60 minutes prior to pushback), then after a period of time (5 seconds to 1 minute), it rests the time to pushback time and I get the "your late" message.

Ok, tried it again and its jumping back to live UTC without Fly the Line running. Looks like a MSFS gremlin in there. I've found this YouTube that has the same thing and its interesting because I've never flown in a group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1ohDJwQeZU

It's a tricky one this. I've made a few adjustments (which you can try in the Early Access build). Nothing has really changed in FTL with regards to time so I think it is MSFS2024 related. There have been all sorts of problems with how MSFS2024 handles time (which is why Sim Rate is blocked for MSFS2024). It seems to work differently to the other sims.
The frustrating thing is I don't get this issue so it's very hard for me to test/fix. I saw some other users managed to fix some other issues where FTL wasn't detected by running FTL as Admin. Bit of a stab in the dark but maybe that will help??? Probably not, but worth a try I guess.

I ended up logging out of all online services, re-starting and re-booting and then logging back in to the online services when MSFS24 was fired up. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks for your assistance anyway, it is appreciated! Third flight in and really enjoying it. Looking forward to a Cargo career that's for sure!
