Difference between Time Warp and Physics Time Warp?

[Chel]

Just a quick question, whats the difference between Time Warp and Physics Time Warp? 

[Geonovast]

In regular timewarp, no physics are calculated except gravity.  Collisions do not happen.   IIRC, ships are only deleted during regular time warp if the PE is actually below the surface.

Physics timewarp still calculates everything like it normally does when you're not timewarping, which can make some wonky things happen.  I usually only use physics timewarp when I'm parachuting and I don't feel like waiting 10 minutes to get to the ground.

Regular warp puts your ship on rails (like ships that you're not controlling) which allows for very fast warping.

Physics warp allows you to still control the ship, so is limited to 4 times warp.

Ok, so the Time Warp is where you can warp very fast, and the Physics Time Warp is just the 4x one?

[bewing]

yup

You see, the time warp is just a jump to the left...
