I think that there should be a Hotkey, or a command, or SOMEHTING to let you change how fast the sim. goes. I know it might be impossible to slow it down, without slowing the frame speed, but for fast forwarding (so to speak), you could change the settings so that each frame while it is faster is 2 frames in the normal speed. I know this doesn't make much sense when i type it, so think of it like this:

A "game frame" is how many frames the game WOULD go if it wasnt speeded(sped?) up.

In normal game speed, 1 f (frame) = 1 gf.

In 2x game speed, 1 f - 2 gf.

In 3x game speed, 1 f - 3 gf

And so on.

This could allow for watching usually slow reactions and long, time wasting timers to be easier and more fun to make and use.

Thanks for reading, and please leave what you think down

 EDIT 1:"Time wasting timers" silly me. I meant to say, timers that take a long time... nevermind, you guys are smart enough to know what i mean. BTW, i was really tired today so the suggestion wasnt as great as it couldve been. Check my profile to see what i do here. ^^

Ok. But, if there IS any way to add a slider or something in simulation options, that would work well, maybe...
