Dear All,

I was a user of FS2002, and, by opening the clock and using the lower right button, was able to tune the time compression.

I tried the same trick with FS2004, and that does not seem to work.

Has anybody else experienced the same problem?

Thank you for your help,

Philippe

Hi MrGenoux, I am bringing this to the forefront as I too am missing what you are asking: Where is the feature in 2004 to speed up the time on long flights?? I can't find it either. Thnx, rob

Crying or Very sad Its there .....but not as we knew it Crying or Very sad
You have to stop the sim by pressing alt on keyboard and click options

You could allways Yaw it forward

Funny how we miss these little oversights Crying or Very sad

Actually, there is an easier way!! Yes!!! I thought i was going to have to do the alt then menu thing also, but turns out all you have to do is hit 'R' and then the plus or minus key to slow or speed up the flights. I think the fastest you can speed it up is 16x with autopilot engaged, but I'm not sure?

Thanks

Great ! It works both ways, however, is there not a indication on panels as to what speed you are at? I changed via "R" key, but couldn't see where it says what your time speed is so you can reset to 1X...Course, it does say if you go to Options, but who wants to do that! thnx again, rob

When I use the "R" key then the plus or minus keys the time compression rate is displayed in the upper right corner of the CRT screen.
