Did it use to?  AFAIK, the clock is not automatically updated by the EGI, it's just an independent device.  According to flight manual, you can set the clock by pressing both buttons at the same time, which is not possible in DCS...

Yes in 2.7 i could change the clock through the CDU

are you talking about the time on the clock on the bottom left of the panel? That’s just a clock. I don’t think in the real jet it communicates with the EGI. The time that matters is in the bottom right of the HUD. Is that not updating when you do the local time adjust?

LOL, it probably cost $20K, so it's not just a clock

Ha! that's fair. Its an absurdly expensive time piece. But still, I think its the same old clock the A model had and doesn't communicate with the EGI. I could be wrong.

This is intended.  The digital clock is not getting its time (or time adjustment) from the CDU anymore, but it's independent.

At mission start, the digital clock is initialized with GMT.  To be able to change it, you have to press the clock's select and control button. (best use keyboard/keybind for that).

The hours digit will start flashing, and you can adjust it by pressing the control button.  Pressing the select button again, will make the minutes digit start flashing.  Also set this with the control button.  Repeat the steps for the seconds digit.

Pressing the select button 1 more time, will bring the clock back to normal mode.

Thanks, just checked this and it is as you say now. No mention of this method in the A10CII manual though and no mention of this in the changelog either.
