Flight Question How can I go faster than 10000x?

[spacekid1998]

Is there anyway to go faster than this?

You can go to 100000x, but that's it.

You could try adjusting the date.

I maximum time acceleration that Orbiter lets you do is 100,000x - assuming what you wrote wasn't a typo, then just hit 'T' one more time when you're at 10,000x to speed up again.

However, I don't know of any way to go beyond 100,000x - I'd guess that the program doesn't let you, maybe because there would be huge numbers of calculations per second for the computer to do if you could.

And beyond 100000x I think the programm would make miscalculations in your trajectory.

FWIW, the new beta is able to go quicker. But right now it's just a beta. So the addons like "sound" don't work.
In the beta there is a setting under "Extra/Debugging options/fixed time steps. The description for this is...

"This option assigns a fixed simulation time interval to each frame. Useful for debugging, and when numerical accuracy and stability of the dynamic propagators are important (for example, to generate trajectory data or when recording high-fidelity playbacks).
Warning: Selecting this option leads to nonlinear time flow and a simulation that is no longer real-time."

Anyway, I found that on my laptop with the default value of 1 second for the fixed time step length (per frame) it tends to run at about 50 times faster than real time with warp set at 1. So warping 0.1 it's still 5 times faster than real making it tough to control. But by changing the value of the fixed time step to something like 0.5, at warp 0.1 it can have the sim running on average 2.5 times real time making it at least controllable for atmospheric flight and for doing TransX maneuvers. So warping from 0.1 to 100,000 makes it in effect 25 times faster than real time at warp 100,000. I am loving this feature as it allows what used to be a 90 wait for trips to the outer planets, to be done in just 3 or 4 minutes. Now orbiter in the outers is no longer a waiting game. Sure it has no ability to do pure real time but time is just relative anyway, right?

That, or you can use the scenario editor to jump forward a specific amount of time.
