A more visual or symbolic display would be better. Or maybe a percentage.

Also being able to set the delivery delay for specific crafts via .ini modifications would be great.
Something like
DeliveryDelay = 3000 // Milliseconds

About 70 fps with nothing going on (at 1440x900) and still about .90 timescale with massive action going on.

Wheeeeeeee.

FPS caps at 250 on 640x480, also.

When you call for a drop ship and the delivery countdown shows up, how many real life seconds go by within each CC second?

One to one, I have a pretty decent computer.

Entirely dependent on framerate. Typically the timescale sticks to 1 (if you have ctrl+o enabled) but you can set it to higher or slower.

Hah, yeah, mine's about 1-4 or 5. When I was first playing the game, it was about right, though. Not really sure what's up with that.

I could think of three things, in addition to per-craft arrival time, that would be kinda cool, and perhaps easy for Data. 1. Random drop time multiplier, perhaps a map-defined variance like LifeVariation. 2. Drop time multiplier per map, to mimic adverse atmospheric conditions or something. 3. Per-craft map drop time multiplier multiplier, for droppods that wouldn't be affected much by adverse atmospheric conditions. I don't know how Data made the delay, so perhaps all of these would be wastefully difficult.

Drop delay changing was on his todo list a while back, and if we have access to that we can do all of the above with Lua.

Something like DeliveryDelay = 3000 // Milliseconds Hm, I don't think I made this thread clear enough. I'm not supposing that a CC second is actually longer than a real life second. I was asking how close the two were for most people as a discussion of laggy gameplay.

Yeah, but I was just digressing a little. I'm usually playing at 3/4 speed on average. 1/3 speed on my laptop or at max res.

I removed a few mods and its running much faster. Is this just in my head? Why would that matter?

Less RAM taken up by mods, more RAM available for Cortex without dipping into virtual memory. Virtual memory is slow, thus using less of it is faster.

Wouldn't having Ctrl+O off lock it to pretty close to 1:1 by just skipping frames?
