  • MSFS 2020
  • ATS
  • FSX
  • Prepar3D

This appears to be an issue with the system we have to use to get data about the flight. When that data is read, the sim resets the time based on the flight settings without being told to. Use the workaround below to keep your chosen time.

Workaround

  1. Open the World Map.
  2. Open the “Flight Condition” panel.
  3. Under “Weather and Time”, select “Preset” instead of “Live”.
  4. Select Live Weather in the list of presets.

The Flight Condition panel gathers flight data through the same system Stripr uses, and it triggers the same reset:

  1. Open the World Map.
  2. Move the time slider to a different time.
  3. Open and close the “Flight Condition” panel.
  4. The time slider is back to live.
