"T - " Time Warp Timing: Real world translation for people who game durring their day

[CannonFodder_833]

Hello,

I would like to suggest one more line of information to be displayed during time-warp operations prior to a node. Specifically, a countdown that shows the 'modified' amount of time (as perceived by the operator/gamer) until the next node is reached.

I ask for this because I frequently have KSP running in the background throughout my day (not at a workplace - for those concerned). Often times, I will line up a maneuver and then return to my computer later (anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours) to execute that maneuver.

I would find it extremely helpful to be able to set a time-warp factor and be able to know how long (in people time) it will be until my next maneuver node so that I can set an alarm or something and return later after running some errands, working on the lawn, or really, anything else.

I threw together an example of what I was thinking of to help prevent confusion as to which data I'm asking for. It's below.

...Just a thought and thanks for your time,

Would be very nice indeed!

i don't think thats a very usefull feature

as i don't know anyone else who leaves a ship warping and goes away

also, you can just calculate the time

Do you have any idea how tedious it gets to warp to Jool for 5 minutes, and to calculate the warp time yourself? This would tell us how long in real-time at current warp we would have to wait to get to Jool's SoI. Besides, plenty of people usually leave ships warping and go away.

This is a great idea for stock (and I'm going to steal it for my mod).

While i agree that this would be useful, there is a convenient plugin out there that solves all these problems: Kerbal Alarm Clock can be used to cancel timewarp (or pause the game) at specified times, before maneuver nodes/Apoapsis/SOI changes and much more. So you can leave the game running and return to a paused game waiting in a situation X minutes/seconds before the next maneuver burn is required.

Or you could just pause the game, and than set a higher time warp when you are there to catch it
