HiI've moticed a few times in recent days that the time on the next station aid when I arive or depart a station is not the same time as displayed for the current simulation time. I know that if I save an activity whilst loading/unloading the time messes up, but today I was running the FBL2 and was not saving and yet the time was over a minute out. Makes judigng your arrival even harder!Anybody know of the cause or a solution for this.Thx

We've had a couple of threads on that, and nobody seems to be able to figure out what causes it. It does seem to be especially severe on FBL2, but I've seen it (less extreme) on other routes as well. Chalk it up to another display of programming prowess from our friends at Kuju.

Yeah, it seems to depend on which route, one more that others
and maybe, what alignment of moon & stars.

It is a normal MSTS thing. I am currently running the UK Northern Rails v5 and am 5 minutes ahead of the sim time. It makes station waits very long. No fix known at present.
