Jackson Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The first time I took off Sim Rate didn't work at all. I couldn't speed up time, or slow it down. I thought maybe it did not work with this aircraft although that'd be a first... The second time I took off Sim Rate worked fine. It went up and down and then I left it on 4x as it was a long flight. As I neared my destination it no long worked. I was stuck at 4x and seemingly had no way out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbyger Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Heya! Yeah, this is a somewhat known issue with our planes, we do not recommend to go higher than 2x So could you please try again with 2x max and report back if that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 I did try again. For a while I was able to switch back and forth between 1x and 2x but eventually it did stick on 2x. I tried for quite a while various things to get it to come down but it wouldn't. I made a half way acceptable landing on 2x and once parked, oddly enough it went down to 1x for me.

Ruffen Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I've found (on both the An-225 and the A310) that using simrate by pressing R and then the plus and minus key for the speed doesn't work. But I assigned keys to directly increase and decrease sim rate (ie. ctrl-+ to increase it without having to press R first) and that works. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no up and down. How would i set this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diditopgun Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Too bad we can't use high sim rate. With pmdg 737 I can use x8 (in straight course, had to reduce at turning points) and even x16 over sea and low density areas. Very useful to do long haul flight that I couldn't do in real time otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbyger Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think PMDG uses CFD yet, correct? This will most likely be the cause how they can achieve a high simrate like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbyger Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 No, for me it goes to x2 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
