I actually do mental approximations for this. "Do I have enough time to eat? Lemme see... it'll be about fifteen minutes to cross the Atlantic. Yeah, sounds good."

Basically. to find out how much time it will take you to travel say 100 hours in a time compression of say 1024x you take 100 hours times 60 (Because you have to convert it to minutes because that is what your end answer will be) and divide by 1024 (Because the x at the end of 1024 means multiply, so all time compression does is multiply the speed at which time passes by that much) and your answer is in minutes of how long it takes you to travel 100 hours of in game travel time at a tc of 1024.

I know when i used the equation that was confusing but let me try to make it simpler. (h x 60) + however minutes leftover (I.e. 10:16 = 10 hours and 16 mins, so add 16 minutes) then divide that by whatever time compression your using to get how many minutes it will take you in RL to travel that distance (Say 10 hours 16 minutes as in I.e.) at a whatever time compression you choose. Sorry if I wrote it that confusing guys. I just thought thats how it would make the most sense If you don't understand it ask me why and I'll help guide you through the bit you don't understand.
