Slider to reduce communication time

Feature Proposals

Make a slider that goes from 0 to 100%, to decrease the communication time between ATC and plane. 0 would be instant communication (no delay between communications) and 100 would be normal communication speed.

This would be very useful in high traffic, because it is a bit frustrating to have to wait.

    Thank you for your feedback, but we believe that commu duration is a particularly critical mechanism. Firstly, it restores the real situation; secondly, it limits your operational frequency, preventing multiple aircraft from being commanded simultaneously in a short period, which would not happen in reality. If we want to increase throughput during peak hours, we can accept adding more control towers/ground seats, which can reduce channel occupation but will increase handover frequency. Overall, this is a necessary mechanism, and we currently do not consider reducing call duration. Meanwhile, we are providing a new feature that, at 2-3x speed, still plays radio communications. Although the speech is very fast and requires adaptation, we hope it can reduce the frustration while waiting. ❤️
