Time Shifting Flights

Sorry for Newbie question. Just subscribed to Pilotedge. Want to do a test flight, using the one they suggest on their website.
I do most of my flying after work, about 7-9PM PST. If I use real world time, I would be flying in the dark...I am pretty familiar with XPLANE/FS2020, but night flying is difficult.
Would it make a difference if I "TIME SHIFT" my flight, for an afternoon flight in the daylight, while talking to pilotedge?
Do the procedures change for day and night (closed runways, lighting, etc.). I want to be respectful of the simulation, but need to be able to control my plane as well.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Eric. Feel free to set the time in your simulator and weather to whatever you like. If you are using custom weather, all controllers ask is that you inform with information ZULU in place of the broadcast ATIS code. Enjoy!
