Do you play in Realtime?

[Transients]

I must confess, I rarely use the time acceleration function. I tend to play in contemporary time. If I get lumbered with a long durartion mission, I call up a good radio show to listen to while I'm driving my sub. I'm a big radio fan.

If I'm actually "playing," I'm nearly always in MP so I don't have a choice. If I'm in SP, I'm doing some sort of test, and I get a lot more work done when the sim runs at a higher time scale.

Hi, i m new here but cant play in Realtime...
I am usually busy with Flight simulator, SH3 and GWX, and from some time ago with DW too.
By the way, I work and do a lot of things every day !!!
Regards !

Yes most of the time, because i create my own scenarios and play online as well, i must admit i do tend to forget this place sometimes and this site and subsim are thee best two sites to be affiliated with.

alot of my scenarios where i am in an exercise say like im doing at the moment (Russo japanese ex see dw forum in subsim) if i was to speed up the time acceleration i could miss things that are vital theres no rewind in game so i must play real time all the time.

At the moment i simulate all transits like im based in the northern fleet in the zapadnya litsa area i like realism so i will transit real time under the ice to kamchatka is around 3 days 14 hours and 45 minuets at 23 knots average speed, i dont time accelerate for the reason i dont need to untill i goto bed why then cause my computer goes on standby and my mission is saved, i used time acceleration to match up the times set so if i slept of 8 hours id do time accel for the 8 hours i slept.

I have two PC's both DW and SC on both and two sets of each discs so while im doing a serious game on one PC, i can be mucking about with the same game online on the other one or doing something else, or even down the pub.

I often have SC and DW open at once, although not running at the same time of course as I only have one PC. I went around the world once on SC with Seawolf. I started from my home port of Faslane and went under the Arctic to the Bering Straits between Asia and North America. That was a bit hairy cos the sea is shallow and there's ice overhead 365 days a year; in fact I tried transiting it in Feburary and had to abort and change the time of year to summer because it was impassable. Then I went due south through the Pacific until I reached the antipodes of my start point, or rather my dive point in the Irish sea because I was determined to do the whole journey dived like Ned Beach did in USS Triton (although he had to surface once to drop of a sick sailor). This lies a few humdred miles south of New Zealand. A true circumnavigation can only really be called that if you reach the antipodes of your start point. Then I headed east around Cape Horn and the Falklands and then north back home. The whole trip took just over 32 days, driving on a flank bell the whole way. I did accellerate the time though!

I dont know if you know i spend about 80% of my time in the ice regions arctic ocean mainly have gone down to antartica but theres nothing there to be honest, late january to mid march is the worst possible time to transit the bearing straight ice is thick water is shallow, also theres two islands located quite near they are the diomedes the date line runs down the middle ones yesterday the other is tommorrow its wierd.

Basically if you go right which is right hand turn the water is slightly shallower than if you go left so transit left around the islands.

Thanks for the advice, mate.

I might try and break my circumnavigation speed record, seeing as the boats in DW are faster than their equivalent class in SC.
