UTC time issue when reload a saved flight

Hi,
I just did a test saving a flight: my VC clock on PMDG 777 was showing 15:45 UTC along my route over China (=23:45 local).

Once I reloaded the flight the time shown on the VC clock was 14:09 instead of 15:45 UTC.

I have to reset time manually to local over China (23:45) to get the correct time in UTC (15:35). Maybe a bug?

Could be resolved in a future release or am I missing something?

Many thanks in advance

Just so I understand correctly.
Was 1409 your local time and MSFS was set to real time when you loaded the saved flight?

Is this MSFS2020 or MSFS2024?

If I fire up now MSFS2024 it picks up my local time in Italy: LIVE weather (now 21:41 local, 19:41 UTC time of this post). But this is an insignificant detail.

When I load the saved situation the clock in the VC of 777 PMDG shows 14:09 UTC and not 15:45 UTC showed in VC clock when I saved the flight.

Basically it seems like the correct time which should be 15:45 UTC is not being saved when I reload the flight, but it shows 14:09 UTC. I don't know why.

So...in FlightSave24 window I have to correct manualy the time to match 15:45 UTC.

I hope I explained myself well, many thanks in advance
