1 thing I noticed on your screenshot vs mines is that you don’t have the “Live” option in red and enabled. Could it be the reason why your time is behind when starting a flight ?
Could you provide more steps/screenshots starting with the world map ?

I’ve seen something like this, I think it’s not accounting for Daylight Savings Time

The issue reported here is only 5/10 minutes difference so don’t think it is related to the DST.

I seemed to have fixed my issue, I just resynced my PC time and it works as normal now

Moved out from Sim Update 4 Beta | MSFS 2024 since not beta related.

I have exactly same experience. The PC time is sync’d and correct. Live time selected in flight options however when spawning in, sim time always 5 minutes behind PC/Real time. Going to the weather/time menu in-flight, Live time switched off despite being selected prior to spawning in. Switch live time back on and sim reverts back to real time. Happens every time I spawn into new flight.
