Monkman911 Posted November 12, 2024 Posted November 12, 2024 Training with mavericks and I have "unlimited ammo" selected for the mission. After firing all of the mavs, I have to wait the 3 minutes again for them to spool up. Has anyone found a workaround for this? Thank you in advance!
TKhaos Posted November 12, 2024 Posted November 12, 2024 (edited) Just use L/Ctrl+Z to fast forward time, each time you press it goes up x2 to a maximum of x400. For 3 minutes would only need to press it a few times to say x12 for the 3 minutes to pass. To go back to normal time it's L/Shift+Z and for slowing time down it's L/ALT+Z. Other than that it's a waiting game for the 3 minutes as far as I know. As you speed up time, so you don't lose position trying to fly like it click L/Shift + L/Win + Pause to active Active Pause, once finished click the same keys to disable Active Pause. So start Active Pause, speed up time till 3 minutes is up then deactivate Active Pause and good to go, just be aware that you are paused but nothing else is so don't pause in the line of fire, you also continue to use fuel.

CBStu Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 (edited) TKhaos, that is an excellent suggestion. One change I made was to reverse those two commands. Made sense to me that the upper button of the 2 -Shift-is for fast forward and the lower -Ctrl- is for standard speed. Also, not sure if all keyboards have this, but my LShift key has an upward pointing arrow on it so, in my mind, it is kind of natural to be the fast forward button. BTW I use fast forward a lot. Some missions it may take me 3-4-5 tries to succeed. Some you need to fly 75-100 miles before doing much. FF is a godsend to get you to the action. Edited December 8, 2024 by CBStu

The "shift" key actually shifted the angle of the paper to be hit differently, so you got capital letters etc. The "Capitals Lock", locked the angle of the paper, obviously.

Razor18 Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 On old typewriters the lower case characters were at the bottom of the "hammer", and the capital letters were on top of each "hammer". When you pressed the Shift key, you shifted the entire set of the hammers downwards by about half an inch, so now the top characters on the hammer had contact with the paper instead of the bottom characters. No typewriter machine could ever change the angle of the paper. Just for friendly nitpicking's sake...

Yeah, paper itself did of course not "shift angle". Cheers!
