Daylight Savings Time

  • Article

It's that time of year again when we get an extra hour of sleep and Flight Simulator 2004 decides to spontaneously rebuild its scenery indices the next time you launch it after the time change!!!

 

Yes, we know about this.

Yes, it annoys us too.

    On that post, it says:

    > When the Daylight Saving Time changes (or you change your Timezone manually),
    > the Modification DateTime (which is "local" time) of all files on your PC changes.

    Which isn't true: all date/times are stored in UTC in the filesystem so a timezone change or a DST change (which is the same thing, really) won't affect it.

    I assume that what happens is that Flight Sim converts that to local time before comparing against the time it built the indices and is seeing a difference...
