Strange Zulu time

Hello all,
I am en-route from EDDK to KJFK and on the progress page, I came across this following time:



1860Z, is it a rounding effect or have I done something wrong?

I recorded event:

Thanks for your help! :)

Rounding effect when the reference 32 bit value is 1859.9999 -- I'm seeing this the first time. I'll suppress it in the next update.

I wish I still had the picture, but once I saw an ETA of 2400Z on a 737NG CDU in flight...

So maybe not so strange! ;)

Thanks Hardy. What are the odds, right? :)

PSX is so perfect, it simulates unexpected real issues! ;)

Best!

That rounding error is now cleared in PSX update 10.130. See item 130.02:

Thank you for the correction.

Today, in one of the Facebook groups that I am a member of, I came across this interesting user's page.

It is interesting to see, that B777 can not keep its mind up (00:00Z vs. 24:00Z). Hardy, maybe you can roll back a recent bug fix (to keep realism 100% :D )
