no, the time is set correctly. i think the problem might be with timegm() (now that i think about it, this might have started happening when debian switched to a new version of libc) but i am still trying to understand the logic. anyway, there is a bug in there for sure, fgfs shouldn't go and fetch the metar data for the whole world regardless of the time. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
