Crossing 180 deg longitude

| I've seen this twice, now -- once going east, once west. Obviously it can't
be something real. Therefore it must be a be a bug in FS 9.
When crossing the International Date Line (meridian 180), the time changes
by ==== two ==== hours! It causes a change in the overall sky's lighting,
though the sun may or may not move by 15 degrees.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there any explanation? Have I lost my mind --
twice?

Talk about paying the toll - the good ole US Navy ALWAYS made sure we
crossed the dateline to subtract a weekend day, or add a weekday.. At least
on the floating airport I was on... (USS Kearsarge CVS-33 '60-'63 - or
also known as "The Can Opener" after several collisions with destroyers
during that time, and guess who lost the high seas jousting?
