Feature Request: Display current sim rate #577

Open daheise opened 4 years ago

daheise commented 4 years ago

First let me say I love this tool! It has been a life saver as I have gotten back into simming.

I don't know if this fits in the scope of LNM, but I would like to suggest that LNM display the current sim rate on the simulator aircraft position data on the map. Perhaps on a new line below altitude? Or, anywhere, really.

Related to this, perhaps showing real-world times based on the current sim rate. For example, in the Flight Plan tab it might say "3 h 24 m (1h 42 m RW @ 2x)"

Perhaps this is too niche to MSFS which, for some inexplicable reason, does not include simrate information in the UI.

Thanks for the kind words.

SimConnect provides a SIMULATION RATE simulation variable. So seems to be doable. Alex

For what it is worth, I have scratched this (and several other of my itches) via my own utility. Still think it would be a useful datapoint in LNM, though.
