Flightplan question?

I have alot of MAIW bases for the U.S and im using TTools to send them over to Bagram AB in Afghanistan, but I notice that at bagram I mostly see aircraft depart and return at night rather than day like back in the states. Is this because of the time zone difference or is it just the way the flightplans are set up? For example if a F-15E from KGSB leaves normally @ 15:00 in the states will it now leave @ 3:00am at bagram? If soo, how can I change it?
Thanks

Hi
One thing to remember all FP's are GMT
So you have to allow for time zones
AFG is +4.5 hrs GMT so 12:00 GMT Flightplan time is 16:30 local
12:00 GMT could be 04:00 local in california (not sure of the correct time zone but you get the idea)
So you have to think time zones TTools compensates for the changes but not the time zones
