Hello! Thanks for the feedback. Those numbers are reported by your simulator and are not based on your real location. That means that according to your simulator, the local time where you are flying is 11:37 and the Zulu time is also 11:37Z. It does not necessarily have to be real-time, depending on how you set up your flight. We don’t process these numbers so there is not much we can do about it - but if you want us to make sure that everything is working as expected, I would need the location that you were at and the time setting in the simulator to reproduce this! Kind Regards, Malte ---

the simulator time (p3dv5) was 1137z and i was flying on the east coast of the united states. so it should have shown 6:37am there is _never_ any difference, it always shows localtime = zulu time ---

We’re getting this information directly from the simulator, you can find the reference here: [https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv3/LearningCenter/utilities/variables/environment\_variables.html](https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv3/LearningCenter/utilities/variables/environment_variables.html) We use `ABSOLUTE_TIME` as well as `TIME ZONE OFFSET` to display the values in question. We’ll investigate on our side to make sure that everything is in order as soon as we have available resources! Kind Regards, Malte ---

Good (or bad?) news! We have found a technical issue in the layer between the P3D (and likely FSX) plugins and Simlink itself, leading to an offset of zero. We’re working on a patch which will be released soon! Thanks for the feedback! Kind Regards, Malte ---

This should have been fixed since the release of Simlink `1.1.34.2212`. Please let us know if you are still having this issue! Kind Regards, Malte ---
