    Auto Time Compression Stuck at 2x in Eastern Hemisphere Only

    in Systems

    Posted

    Hey,

    Its one of the SIM VARS, I got its name wrong, its called SIM_RATE_INCR and it increases the sim rate, then SIM_RATE_DECR does the opposite. There is keybinds for both of these in the keybind settings under INCREASE SIM RATE and DECREASE SIM RATE I think the default keybinding is ALT + R and then the Plus and Minus symbols.

    This is helpful thanks. Looking into it.

    Can you please also provide the requested info so we can try to reproduce.

    Hmm that is weird because the flight I did (VHHH-RJTT) definitely falls within that area of influence and I was able to achieve 4x. But this is helpful we're investigating.

    Thanks!

    If you need me to gather any further information I can, I can easily replicate this issue everytime, its really weird I agree!

    Incase this is needed too:

    • Route OFP (Attach PDF)VVTSWSSS_PDF_1740669904.pdf
    • Sim Used (FS 20 or 24) Both
    • OIS Navdata Setting (SIM DEFAULT or NAVIGRAPH) Navigraph Latest
    • Variant (A350-900 or 1000) 1000 and 900
    • System Specs (CPU, GPU, RAM) Ryzen 9800x3D, RTX 5080
    • Sim Rate used (2x, 4x): 4x
    • Any other 3rd Party utilities running with sim (FSRealistic/FSUIPC etc.): None

    All assistance is off.

    Live weather was off and flight model is Modern.

    Turbulence is Low setting to any other mode makes no difference

    I have just tried a flight on 4X again and am not able to reproduce any issue (A350-900, Cathay, VHHH-RJTT, FS24, Accel Up To 4X).

    Please ensure the following:

    • Ensure on SU1 Beta
    • Ensure all assist are Disabled
    • Use "Low" turbulence settings via Assistance Options (helps mitigate random AP disconnects due to excessive turbulence)
    • Check control bindings and ensure no conflicting binds for trim or control inputs.

     

     

    In case you continue to have issues, please provide

    • Route OFP (Attach PDF)
    • Sim Used (FS 20 or 24)
    • OIS Navdata Setting (SIM DEFAULT or NAVIGRAPH)
    • Variant (A350-900 or 1000) 
    • System Specs (CPU, GPU, RAM)
    • Sim Rate used (2x, 4x)
    • Any other 3rd Party utilities running with sim (FSRealistic/FSUIPC etc.)
    • Screenshots / Video recording of the crash

    We need the above data to try to reproduce the conditions in which you have had problems such that we can try to identify any issues.

    Thanks!

    Hello Rich,

    Please see my thread here where I have done some really easy to replicate steps for this issue:

     

    The bug only occurs in the eastern hemisphere of the globe.

    Auto Time Compression Stuck at 2x in Eastern Hemisphere Only

    in Systems

    Posted · Edited by Yetty

    Summary

    In the Inibuilds A350 on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 if you attempt to fly in the Eastern Hemisphere of the globe the time compression will only go to 2x and not 4x this is regardless of framerate. I believe from my understanding there is some code in place to check if you are at the poles and if so it reduces the auto time compression, but I presume there is a bug in this code which is making the entire eastern hemisphere unable to move  up to 4x time compression.

    An example below I am at Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam which is rather central in Asia, I have set the auto time compression to 4x and switched on auto time compression, you can see its stuck at 2x

    This occurs despite a very respectable framerate of 255 FPS. This is easily able to be replicated anywhere in the Eastern Hemisphere of the globe a few places I have tested:

    • East India
    • Japan
    • China
    • Singapore
    • Vietnam
    • Australia

    Area of the map where simulation rate wont go above 2x

    If I go to London, Heathrow in the Western Hemisphere which is rather heavy on framerate and performance the sim has no issues with keeping it at 4x time compression. In-fact I can actually force it to 8x time compression with the SIMULATION_RATE_UP sim var

    MicrosoftFlightSimulator202428_02_202510_30_35-min.thumb.png.ae0a7c518a1863a990af9c1df48f3b1b.png

    Here we can see at London Heathrow the Simulation Rate is at 8x despite us having 107.5 FPS almost half.

    This concludes to me that performance is not the reason the Simulation Rate is being decreased by is something to do with the longitude calculations.

    For testing purposes I took the airplane to the northern pole to see if the simulation rate would be reduced to 2x as mentioned during the developer livestream, but even right at the highest point nearest the pole the simulation rate stays at 8x

    This gives me a very strong suspicion that the maths maybe incorrectly using the Latitude instead of Longitude to limit time compression?

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Load up the A350 in any Eastern Hemisphere Airport (Singapore, Vietnam, Australia, Japan, China, Eastern India)
    2. Go to Options -> Simulation -> Max Compression -> Up to 4X
    3. Select Time Compression -> Auto

    Expected Behavior

    I expect the time compression to go up to 4x in the Eastern Hemisphere when FPS performance is good.

    Actual Behavior

    The simulation rate will not go above 2x anywhere in the Eastern Hemisphere.

    Environment

    • A350 Version: 1.0.0
    • Operating System: Windows 11
    • Flight Sim Version: 2024 1.3.22.0 (Occurs in MSFS 2020 too)
    • CPU: Ryzen 9800x3D
    • GPU: RTX 5080
    • RAM: 64GB DDR5-6000
