FS9 Time Display

All I can think of would be to build a popup panel window with a clock gauge. With that, you could be in Spot view and just pull up that popup to see the time.

MS Traffic Toolbox is part of the FS2004 SDK and installs as a menu item.
You can pop it up and it tells you all about AI in the area, and gives you the time as well.

Tom & Wing Z, thanks for the advice. I tried the SDK but could not get what I wanted. Took Tom's advice and created a pop-up window using the Lear 45's digital chronometer. It was surprisingly easy to do. But the gauge displays "system time" -- the time to which my PC is set. When I go into FS9's Settings and switch to "Flight Time", I'm still displaying "system time".
How to I display UTC (Zulu time) without changing my PC's time???

If you're seeing your local system time, you're probably flying in your home time sone. When you cross a time zone line, that particular gauge should automatically switch to the new zone. So at this point, it's down to finding a gauge that will display Zulu instead. I seem to remember seeing one in an addon, but I can't remember which one.
Check config setting too... Options > Settings > General
There is a Time "radio button" that selects between "System time" and "Flight time"
Like Tom I also seem to recall several freeware aircraft with Zulu displays available on clocks/chronos. I'm thinking maybe the Howard 500, Beaumont-Bitzer DC-3 panel -- maybe some Cal Classic propliner panels, probably some others too.
