SOW - time acceleration?

[C_G]

I'd personally prefer a system more akin to the CFS series of "skipping to the action" where you simply get fast forwarded in one shot along the waypoints until an enemy is within X radius distance from you.
This may simply be a function of how little time I have to play careers offline now that I have two rugrats... even pootling along at 16x while looking at the map for enemies seems to take too long nowadays.
I assume that there will be some form of time compression in SoW:BoB.

Indeed. Why would SOW lack what IL-2 already has (and I use it a ton).

IL2 does something similar, you map the 'time skip' option in the controls menu to a key and you can then skip to each waypoint - it isn't instant like CFS but pretty damned fast even so. You can use it when starting a mission and it negates having to take off if there are lots of ac in front of you.

I'm not entirely sure, but i think the IL-2 time skip is a x64 time compression value with autopilot engaged. Been some years since it was introduced and i read the patch notes

Thanks, didn't know about this, and tried it out today.
Works great. With a map view to give an idea of where you are, it would be excellent.
