How do you use Time Compression?

jakjack · 02-23-15, 11:46 PM

Max 4096 (open water long distance travel)
Near land 256
Hunting 64
Home waters 2048
Enemy waters 1024

And I only increase time compression on the nav and attack map screens

.

Before, I would use maybe 128x or 256x; no set rule really.

This career, 32x on surface, 64x submerged, no more.

1024 in friendly waters (hard set in .cfg file)
256 in enemy waters
64 in patrol aria and coasts
up to 8 when attacking or evading

The 256 and 64 are for the lag by the chronometer/ stopwatch when a convoy or task force enters my zone. It will still happen but I won't be able to hear them via Hydro's yet and make me guess where to go to (which is the best I can do to not use this bug). Any higher and the convoy would have traveled to far in my zone.
As soon as I see the chrono. lag, I press Backspace to pause the game for 10sec. to let the graphics 'catch up' so to speak (this became a habit cause I used to play with higher TC in the past and needed to do that) and hope to get lucky.

Enter key is not being used now. How do I use it to reset time compression to normal?

Backspace to pause, then + to set to 1x is the fastest way

I had the code you would enter into command.cfg but I have lost it.

I believe the ENTER key is incorporated into Webster's GFO mod cuz ENTER on the num pad works for me.

Time compression? Did O'Kane or Fluckey use "time compression"? Heck No! It's 100% realism or nothing at all. Heck, I don't even shower while I'm out on patrol, 1, 2, sometimes 3 months at a time. The wife and kids don't like it, but hey, we all have to make sacrifices if we are going to win this war. And God help the poor soul who makes a noise, while were rigged for silent running!!!

I use the + and - keys. 512 pretty much the whole time.

The sad thing is, I think there might actually be some people on this forum to which that applies....
