FS time penalties

[kaleun]

How bad are the penalties for accelerating time in flight?
Even in short haul flights, I seldom (read never) can sit in front of my computer for 1 or 2 hours without work or wife interrupting.
In Airline Pilot, you don't get sim penalties in easy mode.
Before buying the full FSPassengers version I'd like to know your thoughts on this.

you dont get penalties but you get a certian percentage off something like 30%
i havent used it in a long time

by the way welcome to the forum

[kaleun]

Good. Thanks.
Back to reading the manual

You can also disable the time compression penalty.

[kaleun]

Even better!
I usually play at work (Don't ask) since at home the missus gets "issues" if I play too long so time compression is a must.

Ummm you can also pause the flight as it doesn't influence the result. That way you get full points w/o time acceleration (which has it's
disadvantages such as overspeed etc)

That works only for short haul flights. On a flight greater than 1 or 2 hours, I can't just leave my laptop unattended for so long.
Good that the time compression penalty can be disabled. (I know this creates overspeed issues)

if you are on a laptop you can go into standby or hibernation mode and when you turn your laptop back on you game will be right were you
left off

[kaleun]

Many times if you hibernate, the whole thing crashes on restart. (Sometimes it doesn't)

[kaleun]

OK. How do I disable the time penalyt?
