Your after sales service and dedication is second to none. Having a family I copy the time constraint. However, my guilty pleasure is some of your long and uneventful flights as I am a fool for authenticity and immersion. Nevertheless, cool new feature for those not sharing my niche passion or are lacking the luxury of time. Just wondering what you will think of next 🤔

Thanks! I’ve got plenty up my sleeve, the next changelog is gonna be massive. More videos to come soon.

Thanks for this extra effort. Yet another example of quality and commitment. I look forward to your next project.

The addition of such neat feature will surely draw many a new players into flying historical missions although, personally, I love your long missions where "nothing is happening, but anything could happen" 😛 So many WWII pilots - from all sides of the conflict - have frequently mentioned those long cruising stretches in interviews and autobiographies. You nailed the tension and focus, every time and with each mission. Happy to fly your missions real time from startup to shutdown, every time !

Indeed, that's part of the fun, the tension and all.

Only recently found out about time acceleration from yours and Baltic Dragons vid. I think the new feature is going to be great when replaying missions but will probably still play it real time at least once as I like the little radio "Easter eggs" you add. Retrospectively going back to alter your campaigns is yet again another reason why more people should buying your campaigns and supporting your efforts

Many thanks for the support!

I do prefer flying the long simulated mission vs instant or near instant action scenarios due to the feel of actually being there and allowing my mind to transport me to the actual mission. However, I do understand the need for people to pause or speed up the mission due to life circumstances. Nice touch.

Thanks for adding this! This will be a great help. And thank you for continuing to enhance your old campaigns. You truely are one of the people that makes this community great!

Thanks so much for the support, I appreciate it!

Sounds like an excellent find and a great hidden piece of mission-maker kit (and a TON of work for you!). Thank you for your dedication to keeping you missions working, and for writing some of the best stuff out there for DCS, and for understanding that not everyone has the same time and flexibility. It goes a long way to keeping these accessible. Personally I adore your "real-time" missions, and when finishing one, always feel like I have really had a plane out and am coming back--next thing we need is a virtual O club! ;-) I'll see what I can figure out there and let you know...

Thanks! It was one of those little changes that were worth going back and updating every mission with. I’m like you, though, long missions are just more rewarding.

You are awesome, always going way more than the extra mile.

Thank you, amazing that you were willing to apply to every campaign mission you have made.

Love this idea, but even more so, I love the ongoing commitment to campaign maintenance is fantastic.

Awesome community. Keep up and thank you for everything you´ve done so far for all of us and DCS.

Ok, that's cool. I still wish the flight sim genre would implement save states, but this is really cool. Especially with kids.

Excellent !!

Great idea.

this is a great feature well done

Nice idea!

"Game developers hate this simple trigger." (Sorry, thanks for your work as always, thanks to Sedlo and K1ll0raffe. My only excuse now is lack of skill. Must go practice...)

Nice feature but the long mission adds a dynamic where error, dog fights, and getting landed are so immersive to another level you dont get on other games. I have never donated to a youruber but am seriously considering you because i aporeciate your content and precision so much!

Thanks!. There is another possibility. Because that method still need warm engine. In the payware AH64 campaign the creator just spilt the mission with an mid air advanced position, near the action. That way it is like a saved stage position to start.

That’s a 2x multiplier right there. Never gonna happen. If I had done that I would have had to update 400 missions not 200.

i don't use time acceleration as it breaks the immersion. I like to "live" the whole flight.

It's certainly more immersive that way.

Great feature👍, thanks. Hopefully it gives your great campaigns a boost and enlarges the community. But I will not use it. Love the emersion of your long missions. Would love to have to possibility in DCS for long missions into deep Germany or into the Atlantic Thanks for all your efforts

I own Paradise Lost campaign, will it update automatically with the new feature on the next ED patch or I need to do something?

Thay already are :) except Speed & Angels which is still relatively new

wouldnt it be easier for you to nurse all your missions by some .lua-text editor? it would probably be pretty easy to make some script to inject code like this - only thing you would need is some kind of mask for the trigger number to find out which one should trigger the time-reset.

How would the script/ mask know which triggers need a timer reset and which ones don’t?

@@ReflectedSimulations i dont know how you organize them now, by color? by ID? if it´s ID you can make ID´s where each digit of the number is kind of a flag. ofc this probably would need some rework of the trigger ID´s. if it´s by color you can probable get that info from the text file as well. you can also search for triggers maybe it´s not applicable for all the old missions but i guess you will create new ones and the way of managing triggers in the ME is just terrible imo.

Great Idea! :-) And Thanks for implementing it. But for me time acceleration isnt that helpfull. If i accelerate the Time in DCS i have so muss les FPS and DCS starts to lagging, that the real timesaving is really low. I already checked the forum, reddit, etc. But the only thing i found was Problems with the Winwing Export File. But i had this Problem even before i bought the Winwing. Does anybody has a Idea what can i do?

I experienced the same when I set my MSAA too high. On 2x time acceleration is much smoother. Also, I only use 2-3x acceleration.

It's a stopgap solution but a nice one. There's so much excellent singleplayer content for DCS, and ultimately the lack of a save feature is holding back people from being able to experience it. It's a feature that should have been in the game years ago yet we're still missing it.

@@ReflectedSimulations Oh, no shade here - I've been playing through Ground Pounder's Kerman campaign and been wishing I had this feature - I often use acceleration on the ingress and egress and I don't like missing dialogue.

That’s very useful, especially when you’re replaying the mission for the 4th time 🫣
