Time zone discrepancy

I have a flight that departs MNL for SFO on Monday at 00.05 local time and is supposed to arrive at SFO at 22.10 local time.  Geography will tell us that the flight is supposed to arrive Sunday night local as it crosses the international dateline eastward.  The return leg commences at 00.30 which is presumably a Monday.  The problem is that the system records the day as departing on Tuesday.  Please clarify why the return flight from SFO-MNL is commencing on a Tuesday where in fact it is ideally supposed to be Monday as it is distorting my flight plans.

This is because of a general fault in the idea of the Earth's shape.

I have already reported this in the bug report section under "Error when planning flights for those that consider the Earth to be flat".

No answer from Sami yet.

Intl dateline will be added in v.1.2 as it cannot be added in the middle of running games.
