Hi all, I have noticed that after deleting my WASM files, my MSFS2024 sim rate starts to speed up automatically during the flight. I have never had that happen in FS4, FS2020 and now FS2024. I do use chaseplane and never had that issue with Chaseplane too. Anyone know why this could be happening?

Were you using a sim rate app prior to deleting the WASM files? Just thinking out loud.

No never had a Sim rate app

I was flying the PMDG 738 when this happened departing KBOI. 

Did you perhaps adjust the clock in the 737?

In the P3D version, there was a function that allowed you to change the sim rate on the clock. The time and rate were then displayed in yellow.

Perhaps this function is also included in MSFS2024?

Bring up a good point, I pressed something on the clock on departure by accident, and I think that was probably doing something instead of a typical chrono

Keep in mind that after deleting WASM in the PMDG folder, you would need to correct all the settings via FMC/EFB. By default, the sim rate is set to AUTO. You need to switch it to DIRECT CONTROL.

Yes, Bill, it was pressing the chrono that caused your sim rate to change. Turns out that if you turn the knob in the lower right of the chrono, it will adjust the sim rate.  With one twist of the knob, the chrono turns yellow and rate accelerates to 2X.  With another turn of the knob, the chrono will turn red and you are at 4X sim rate.  Then, a simple press of the knob returns you to 1X rate.

What’s odd is that PMDG altered this sim rate activation recently.  In the  737-700 for MSFS 2020, the chrono’s upper left knob activated this functionality.  But in the new 737-800, it moved to the lower right knob. Once you get the hang of it, it’s quite useful..

Thank you so much, yes that is exactly what happened I remember it turning red. I must have hit it by accident huh
