can I hope in a fast travel option? Its lack is what kept me from playing campaigns and shelve my copy of il2 1946

There's time acceleration and a timeskip option already - not sure how you can really go beyond that

Actually, there is the fast travel of combat flight simulator that skipped right before the action.

Time accelaration isn't really cutting it. It still takes quite a bit of time and its not without its faults. You need to have auto pilot on who is actually starting to fight by himself. You die and then you have to do the whole process again.

I have never heard of timeskip.

Bind a key for timeskip... it disables the video rendering and renders the scenario out as fast as your CPU will allow. Unlike with games of old... IL-2s scenario is a persistent world while you're playing it. All tanks, vehicles, aircraft and such that are in motion will stay in motion and so the biggest problem preventing the game from going any faster is that your system just will not be able to do all of the calculations that rapidly. I'm sure there's an acceptable loss of precision to a certain point and the timeskip is fixed at that. But it can't go faster.

Still if you're not using the timeskip then maybe you should try. It's a bit dry seeing as the screen is black but it does work.

It would be nice if they can increase th acceleration limit beyond 8x. IIRC correctly some old sims like ETW allowed time acceleration of even 64x.
