How do I set the Time Rate to something other than 1x 100x 1000x, etc.?
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 Time Rate you want
* Save the file as "SetTimeRate.cel" into the Celestia directory
* Double click the filename -or- use Celestia's File/Open Script dialog to run it
If you double-click a .cel filename, Celestia will run that script. If Celestia is not currently running, it will be run automatically.
Code: Select all

timerate { rate 5.0 }
