  1. 1. How do you use Time Warp in KSP?

    • I use Time Warp to get to my next Transfer Window, and during Interplanetary Transfers.

    • I don't use Time Warp to get to my next Transfer Window, but only during Interplanetary Transfers.

    • I do Missions within Planetary SOI while waiting for Transfer Windows and Interplanetary Transfers.

I use timewarp a lot, but usually only to the next "event" rather than warping my way through complete missions. For example, I'll send a ship towards Duna, timewarp until the window to Eve and launch a ship there, then timewarp until time for the Duna ship to do a fine-tuning maneuver, timewarp to Eve ship's SOI change, and so on. Once when one of these games was extra-busy I counted and had 18 simultaneous missions active. Would have been impossible without obsessively tracking every step in KAS. In fact, I eventually decided I was actually flying KAS more than I was flying spaceships and started a new game with some other gimmick. :)

So far I've used timewarp fairly normally, but I do have in mind one day doing an interplanetary mission in real time, ie: get the thing launched and on its way, and then just keep KSP running continuously. Maybe create a ships log and if I have a working telescope mod take some astro-shots along the way. Then when at the far end, land, and because nothing at all (generally) happens without human supervision, I'd probably save the game when I needed to sleep/work/whatever, and then whenit came time for teh return trip again leave KSP running in real time. It's the sense of accomplishment thing that appeals to me about doing things that way. Mind you, I do have a second PC that can handle playing KSP 0.9 or earlier, so I wouldn;t necessarily be berfect of KSP fun whilst my interplanetary mission was cruising between planets :-}
