But the point of 1x is to not touch that button. Of course they talk a lot about letting the game run while they do other things, which to me is not actually playing at 1x, but we all have our different approaches.

Meh. I thought they had just run into one too many problems with the time compression, so they opted to leave it off

Not everyone aboard a sub stood watch ... which is about all you do in the sim until either a ship or a plane is spotted (or plotted on the map). Most of the crew did "other things" ... just not the same other things. But other things, nonetheless. (Your wife might appreciate it, though, if you were to simulate "scrubbing the deck" by mopping the floor and vacuuming the carpet.)

My point on this has always been that there is no difference between doing something else while the game runs itself, or using time compression to skip those parts. Either you're playing the game or you're not - there is no simulation of real-time shipboard life while you're busy not playing, just in-game time passing without your help.
