        Well, no, except manually.

        For the weather you could see online what is local weather, and input it manually in the weather tab - fitting the vast majority of weather possible IRL into the weather tab constraints. Not undoable, but tedious.

        For the time, not really either…. in between missions, you can run the clock at high speed to match up campaign time with current time.

            For Date you can edit \user\config\Falcon BMS.cfg.
            (… I guess it works also for Time)

            Under “Misc Settings” you’ll find :

            set g_bLocalEnviromentalDate 0 // Makes the TimeManager use the local system date for enviromental lighting calculations

            Set this value to 1 and save.

              I thought this only has a (client-side) impact on when the sun rises and sets, not forcing BMS to local time and date? As I understood this setting, you could easily fly a winter mission (selected season in-game = winter) in the middle of real summer. If you set “localenvironmentdate 0”, the sun will rise at 0800, like it should in winter, but if it’s set to 1, it will rise at 0500 already, as you’d expect in summer.

                I thought this affects also time (also in single player),
                but I could be wrong though, as I’ve never tried myself. 😉
