How to increase simulator speed 2x, 4x etc?

Having trouble advancing sim as stated above.

There are commands that can be assigned in the sim, but downloading the FsSimRateBandit from the library is a better option.

works great for me.

You need to bind a key to the increase sim rate. It's actually two keys.

 

In the general settings, Controls, select keyboard. Type in "sim" in the first search box. Change the filter to ALL. You should have 3 options, SIM RATE, increase sim rate and decrease set rate

 

Select Increase sim rate (clear out any entries already there). I use R and +, validate it, then move on toe decrease sim rate, I use R and the - key. Validate and save.

 

As others have pointed out, you will need to keep track of how many times you have pressed the increase sim rate key, I usually do it twice.

I have sent in a want list to The Zen desk.One of them was using the drop down menu like FSX for the sim rate.

Why should you have to use a 3rd party program to add functionality that any 7th grade programer could add in 5 minutes. That's pretty stupid. Everytime there's something wrong with this program, we're gonna need a 3rd party app to fix it?

well said shb7 I was thinking the same thing the sim cost me £127 why on earth should I even have to search for mods etc to get the sim working ,i am not an experienced simmer and don't know about mods and fixes etc I am managing to fly some planes, but bugs like the A320 some screens are going black and I was told to get the mod which I actually did but it didn't fix any thing, I dont know how other beginners are coping but i am struggling I didn't think it would be easy but like you said third party addons all the time not really on after paying such a lot of money in the first place ,bet microsoft are laughing all the way to the bank.

shb7,

 

Functionality is everything. It's clear that you didn't look to learn what additional functions would be available with the 3rd party app. If all the sims in the past 40 years provided a check box to get the functions wanted there would be no need for 3rd party apps. Stick with the functions in the sim and the C152. You will be fine.

The functionality is there, they just didn't assign the keys.

I just used Ctrl + and Ctrl - same as FS9/FSX.

The only bind is there's no visual indication on screen as to using time acceleration or your chosen rate.

That’s why you need the external app I suggested. In addition with this app you can travel up to 4x between WPs on long hauls.....

Just use the default R+ and R- keys and be done with it. No need to use any app.

I guess we have to use simratebandit until asobo adds a sim rate display. It's nice it has a voice calling out the sim rate, so you don't have to change windows.

I reported the problem to Zendesk and use the SimRateBandit to get by in the meantime. I don't think that is stupid.

But there is no display indicating the current sim rate when using the in-app command. The SimRateBandit provides that.

Agreed. I have learned to be patient when it comes to fixes on this sim. I'm not about to go running off to the Internet like a chicken with it's head cut off looking for and possibly paying someone to fix what Asobo/MS probably will in an upcoming patch.

I just noticed today that the plane flies a lot different in autopilot with a 4x sim rate. That shouldn't happen.

I use the R + -button and the R+= button which works fine but I too would like to see on the screen 2x,4x etc

The same with FS2004 and FSX. The AP system can't adjust fast enough. Bet if you could fly 4X in real life the plane would fly differently too.
