ISSUE DESCRIPTION Description of the issue: I start the flight and set custom time when flight is loaded. Time remains still. Let’s say I set time 10:00 and start my startup procedure.

I noticed, if you open the settings (or just press escape) and return to the simulator, the time would jump to how long it has been since flying. So in your case, if you were to go into the menu and back the time in the simulator wo…

Same here, time stopped in weather and had to move it back to the time showing on the plane clock
