How to set date and time

[skywalker22]

Is it possible to change the start time on the server to like now, or to some custom one?

So each time the server will restart, will start at that time automatically, and not by DCS's default from 2016?

The date is part of the mission file. Guess it would be possible to make a script that edits the .miz file to update the date and time regularly.

My weather script has this built in so it uses Zulu time each Havoc Company server restart

This is the METAR havoc script.
I've used for several months on my public servers, until new clouds jumped in, and I was forced to write my own scripts also to create some of the conquest/reset behavior that I've implemented on my servers now.

New version should take care about new clouds and weather I guess, but not sure since I'm not using it anymore.

Updated version is placed here: https://github.com/shadowze/DCS_weather
