I assumed sliding it to a time would make the mission I selected start at that time, but when I pick a mission after sliding it to a time it just sets the time to whatever time the mission already had set. What does this slider actually do? How do I “find” missions that actually start at the time I selected?
It also says it changes the weather to the time I selected in the previous 24 hours. How do I see what the weather is while sliding? There are no clouds that show on the career mode map…
Also as I slide it left and right red dots appear over some activities. What does this red dot mean?

sadly for now i believe the time of day / weather slider is broken and only changes the world map, when load into a mission its a preset time.
also there is little information about weather as most of the missions just say sunny and the temperature with no more info.
the red dot is to indicate the type of flying rules, if i remember red is for VFR.
hope ms realize this and fix it asap
I was about to ask the same question.
I understand that you have to wait until you have your IFR Rating until you can change time and weather.
However this does not seem to work.
I set it to realtime and weather for the mission I’m currently flying but the mission time instead gave me 22nd August at 9:15 UTC.
Temperature, Pressure and wind, seem to match real time though. Cloud coverage and time and date do not.
I don’t know whether this is by design since I’m still at the point in my career were I fly for other companies instead of my own. So maybe date and time is supposed to be fixed by the employer? And this will change as soon as I open up my own company? But I somehow doubt it.
Live system needs clarification and fix because there are no night missions no matter what time you chose.

Yes this is not working as it was instructed after IFR rating, I can’t fly real time with real weather on any mission in career.

Each mission seems to have a set time that doesnt change, which then takes the weather from that time in the last 24 hours, as far as I can tell.

When you move the slider, you will see a red icon on certain missions. You have to move the time slider to the time that the mission says it starts and then it will have the live weather and stuff. It’s confusing but you can’t set the time for them yourself, they are pre-determined times. All the time slider does basically is let you fly that mission with the live weather from that time.
Hey today after the patch real world time/weather is now working! I didn’t start at 9 am with out dated weather but rather local time and weather!
Red == Matches the weather for that time.
Day/Night missions are intended to be selectable so people who only fly around their home town arent always forced to fly at night after work.
Basically the intent is
- Spawn Day missions in the area
- Also spawn night missions in the area
- choose what you want
Its just sad night mode isnt actually available ( or working ).
I don’t have the time menu anywhere in the career mode (in headquarter or missions). Maybe it’ll come after the IFR exam?
