I can NOT update this data! Because the data is not in my personal file on personal computer, but my computer takes it ready from common tz-server. Maybe some worldwide companies (i.e. Microsoft or Asus) use the tz-servers with correct data. But A LOT of software and hardware brands use incorrect servers. Including all the millions of Apple devices in Russia are linked to tz-server 'time.europe.appe.com' with wrong UTC+4. So Stellarium uses this Apple's mistaken data, and I can not change it. Do you think, that I am able to hack Apple servers??? Instead I wish Stellarium either use the correct tz-servers (not from my system) or allow me to set the UTC-local differense manually.

Look at the screenshot: it gives UTC+4 instead of UTC+3, and I CAN NOT change it!! Neither in my computer, nor in Stellarium settings. Instead I have to scroll from real 19:55 Moscow time (true UTC+3) ahead to fantastic 20:55 (false UTC+4). Because Stellarium shows the real pucture (as for current 19-55) only one hour later at 20:55. And if I click "go to current time', it indicates real 19:55 at its timeline (because now it is 19:55 in Msk, and sure I set my comp for it), but shows the false sky picture as it were one hour earlier.
