SET DATE AND TIME
Set the Time of Day and Date. Daylight is accurately reflected based
upon navigation data loaded and time set.
At program start, ELITE references your computer’s internal clock,
then applies the (LT)/(UTC) offset from the General settings dialog
box on the Configuration. The calculated current UTC (Universal
Time Coordinated) time is then used for all cockpit clocks and ap-
pears on the Time of Day panel in the UTC window. The time dis-
played in the LMT (Local Mean Time) window will probably NOT
reflect the current local watch time of the area flown in. THIS IS
NORMAL! LMT is used to calculate accurate sun rise and sunset
times. Depending on aircraft location within the specific Time Zone
flown in, and Daylight Saving Time, LMT may be “off” by as much
as 2 Hrs. Use this time only as a reference for setting day/night flying
conditions. To change time of day, click and drag on hours/minutes
adjust knobs located below LMT display window.
PRESET LEVEL OF DETAIL (GENVIEW ONLY)
Software “performance” is directly related to the computer hard-
ware and associated capabilities used to run it. Many factors such as
processor speed, memory, video card and drivers, come together to
formulate what the end user perceives as computer “power.” Some
performance gain may be achieved however through the software by
fine-tuning Gen View’s visual settings.
Based on the processing power of your computer, you may want to
adjust the Level of Detail (LOD) setting by pressing one of the LOW,
MEDIUM, or HIGH buttons.
