As you can see in the EFB, you’re not flying in January. You’re flying in August sun with January weather.

I’ll add my 2 cents that I’m also having this bug. EFB showing date in August 2022, when my career mode flight using real-weather (and I’ve passed IFR - so real weather should be active) is actually January 2025.

Here’s a demonstration that it is also broken in live weather missions

Correct time and date on world map:

Correct time in pre-mission screen

• Yes.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Identical issue. Every flight is in August 2022, I’ve seen variations probably due to timezone, but it’s August 15 for almost everyone afaik.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
• Just one example of the same issue: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
While also showing in Career that it should be set to current date: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
