time‐speed

[kamegawa]

If we put L‐button,we can make time‐speed 10 times faster, put L ‐utton twice, we can make time‐ｓpeed 100 times faster.

But I want　to make time‐ｓpeed 5 or 6or 7or ‥‥‥times faster.

Is it possible?

You'll have to use a script if you want to make time go faster by say 5, 6 or 7 times...

The script below will set Celestia's Time Rate to 5x.

* Copy the text in the Code box
* Paste it into your texty editor
* Edit the "rate" value of "5.0" to be the TimeRate you want
* Save the file as "SetTimeRate.cel" into the Celestia directory
* Double click the filename -or- use Celestia's File/Open Script dialog

If you double-click a .cel filename, Celestia will run that script. If Celestia is not currently running, it will be run automatically.

Hope this helps.
