Hi,
Is this possible or something that could be added in future (in which case I can change this to a suggestion)?
I thought that the Hawaiian Volcano eruption in FSX must have used something similar if you set the correct date. It seems like something that should be a fairly standard feature.
If there's a way to achieve the same affect using the existing tools please can you share it too?
Thanks,

You can write your own logic using zulu time or local time variables and events. Zulu is UTC.
Variables for time. Here you can trigger something based on time. https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/WASM/Gauge_API/Token_Vars/General_Simulation.htm#ZULU_YEAR
Events for time. So you can set time. https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/Event_IDs/Miscellaneous_Events.htm?rhhlterm=zulu&rhsearch=zulu
In what way do you want to trigger it; simconnect, WASM, JavaScript, MissionScript?
For MissionScript, you can use a PropertyTrigger. As ReversePolish Condition, use something like (E:ZULU TIME) 43200 >. You can find a list of variables here: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Additional_Information/Reverse_Polish_Notation.htm#EnvironmentVariables
Thanks for this @Flysimware and @Mr_LiamT - I missed the responses somehow. MissionScript is what I'm after. Thanks!
