Feature Suggestions » Feature Request / Keyboard shortcuts for time scale

It would be really great to have keyboard shortcuts to increase / decrease time scale in +/- 5 increments, just as UI arrow buttons do.

It would be especially useful in VR, where any change you want, requires you to remove the headset. There are ways to convert radio switches to keyboard keys, so this would allow to switch time scale with the radio.

(alternatively, it would be great if you could "map" time scale to a radio channel. But this is probably complicated, while adding shortcuts should be easy).

It is fine if it works when time scale is open.
How about having a shortcut to show timescale window too? Just like with a piro trainer?

That's a very very very important function :) I go very often to training menu to enable. Actually it is great now, that this window is persistent most of the time. But it disappears if you go Online, or if you switch to 100% time scale (which I can just avoid).

Maybe we could keep it when you go online? As it is now, it goes disabled and sets everything to 100%. But actually flying with different timescale is possible in Online mode and this is great, because you can train something together with friends. Same is true for piro flip trainer.

Bu in general, these 2 hotkeys to increase and decrease time scale are already such a time saver for me, especially in VR..

I can imagine. But it's really fun if you can meet with friends, talk about how you train, show things, use piro trainer if needed. These are really features.
It wouldn't be a bad option to have user time scale printed next to its name. But then, time scale is not the only thing.. user might have different gravity, each used might have different wind etc..

@Klaus-Eiperle did these shortcuts go to a recent version by any chance? I think now, but not sure.. I think the shortcuts listed in Settings do not list anything. I tried "-" key and switched some fixed-wing models, no idea what this key is doing :)

Ok, I see. Then you might be unhappy to hear that "+" does not really work. I think it is because on US keyboard it's actually a "=" key, and you get '+' by pressing that with a shift. Not a big problem though..

BTW The website looks great. I'm amazed that you have time to develop this on your own..

Yeah surely it's better, it just takes more time..

Great, can't wait to test that..
