| New custom toolbar that I created. This tool can:
1. Show the current simulation rate
2. Increase and descrease the simulation rate
3. Reset the simulation rate to normal rate
4. Option to change the default speed range (X0.25 to X16)
5. Option to limit the simulator rate by the range option above (active only if window active)
6. Minimize the windows (by button or double click in the title) and see what's happend :)
7. Fully integrated with the simulation events
8. Real time update with simulation shortcut keys (R, Ctrl +, Ctrl -) and other components or applications
9. No use with simconnect as an external application
10. No need online connection
11. Simple installation: just extract it and move it to community location
Thanks for downloading, I would appreciate your comments
Enjoy :)

it doesn't work well with fbw, would it be simrate or fbw problem?
jopidioot
Great software. Simple to install and simple to use.

Quick question: How would this work whilst using a flightracker like Volanta or SimtoolkitPro? Would that still show actual times or also sped up?

SIM RATE SELECTOR is fully integrated with MSFS 2020 API.
Example: if you are going to increase or decrease sim rate (by shortcut keys or other options) outside this tool, it will be updated

I want to inform that sim ratex4 works perfect with PMDG B737
I haven't tried yet the FBW A320 but i will
CapSYDNEY 26 day(s) ago
FBW have kind of disabled that. only 2x works for it, only for a short time though.
mjwenzel 26 day(s) ago
with PMDG you can control the rate directly through the plane and 8x works as well, though 4x is the sweet spot.

Brilliantly simple and works flawlessly for me - wonderful. Thank you v much for it.

thanx alot! Very helpful.

Are Fenix Airbus and FBW Airbus compatible with this addon?
mike2 2 month(s) ago
Fenix and FBW disabled the sim rate feature to prevent broken behaviors of their aircraft. Fenix does have a x2 sim rate via the mcdu

I am actually able to use it with the fbw a320 by just spamming the right button and changing the maximum speed to 16x

You said: "by just spamming the right button and changing the maximum speed to 16x".
That sounds great. how do you do it? Thank you for a more detailed explanation!
Greetings JAE

Thank you so much, you made my life a lot easier

I love it when tools do one thing, one thing only, but they do it good. This is my kind of add-on. Thank you very much!

fantastic tool, a real time-saver
xjanakt
Great tool but I wish like to have option between 4x and 8x , some planes can handle simrate 4x but 8x not..so would be nice to have chance to set 5x or 6x .
mike2 3 month(s) ago
Sorry, the simulation API support only X0.25 to X128 that multiply by 2 (X0.25 X0.5 X1 X2 X4 X8 X16 X32 X64 X128)

Your tool makes time compression a breeze! I used it with the PMDG 737 for a 2,400-mile flight that I would never have attempted before. One of the best add-ons of the year. It didn't seem to work with my mapped keys, but one great advantage of SIM RATE SELECTOR is that you do not need to use mapped keys!
mike2 Prämie 3 month(s) ago
Before you are using your mapped keys (Ctrl + [+] or Ctrl + [-]) don't forget to press 'R' for the first time (try to use it with default airplane).
Notice that 3rd party airplanes can disable SIM RATE (their airplane can not work well in time acceleration).

Great tool. Fantastic work. It works nicely for me.

Fantastic tool. Thank you very much for sharing this one with the community. Wish you a healthy new year.

Love this but could you please change the font of the X2 that is on the toolbar? it looks childish and unprofessional, its a small thing that drives me crazy lol.
mike2 3 month(s) ago
I changed the icon and repack (see the picture, you can sent me a private message about it, please try to change your vote

I don't quite understand what this add-on is supposed to be for?? And why does it slow down the simulation speed, what could I use this function for?? Could the insiders give me a hint? 😊
mike2 3 month(s) ago
example: if you are in cruise altitude and have a lot of time till arrival you can increase the simulator rate or if you want to slow down the simulator rate to learn how to land
Marco1965 3 month(s) ago
It's a useful feature, though... Thanks for your reply.
FractalSystems
Unfortunately, for me, it introduces severe lag and never changes from showing x1 even though it most certainly increases, all other buttons remain grayed out so I can't fix ... of course I can use the keyboard but I don't know what simrate I'm at 😞
mike2 3 month(s) ago
Maybe, try to backup your community folder, install this tool and load default aircraft just to test and try to bring back one by one of addon to check the problem
FractalSystems 3 month(s) ago
I worked some days later, not sure why, nothing really changed....may have been something else causing issues. Thanks.

Yup!

Hello,
Thanks so much for this very useful utility.
Could you please add sim rate at x 0.80 ?
Thank you again,
mike2 3 month(s) ago
Hi, sorry sim rate always multiple by 2 from (X 0.25 to X 128)
jlaers77 3 month(s) ago
what’s the sim rate possible to have nearest to 0.80 ?
mike2 3 month(s) ago
0.50 or 1.00

Hiya 😊
Just a short feedback after I started using your tool, which I find very helpful by the way 😊
So, the feed back: I'm not sure if it's the plane I'm flying now or the toolbar, but I can't get sim rate >x2. Might be my plane? Or the icon x2 suggesting the sim rate cat go to x2 only?
The other thing I noticed is that when I change the sim rate via your toolbar I need to close the toolbar window and open it again to see current rate, in other words, the toolbar does not seem to be updating sim rate displayed on the top, but rather tell the sim rate at the time of opening toolbar window. I hope that makes sense 😊
mike2 3 month(s) ago
I know if a 3rd party plane or other component that handling sim rate can prevent from increase the sim rate as a part of component limitation (i.e. A320 FBW)
pandamisha 3 month(s) ago
So it's most likely it's the a330Neo since it's using FBW systems 😊
