@kittman hi, thanks for downloading. i think ill add the code to set to 1x time, i wish i thought of that during testing so i didnt have to waste time. and no i didnt make the satellite, heres the link to it ( forgot to credit in post)

nice! it made it to orbit then deployed the cargo just as programmed. I launched it three times. first launch, about halfway to orbit, I undocked/disabled the docking port holding the payload during ascent. It didn't like that too much (I couldn't help myself, I wanted to see what would happen). second launch I screwed up and used time warp during the coast phase and it missed it's second burn, re-entering and burning up in the atmosphere. third time was a charm. I used fast forward during the entire program from launch to satellite deploy and it worked great at 5x speed. One suggested change to your vizzy... if you add a line of code (Set Time Mode To Normal) after staging or after the coast phase, the craft will go back to real time (AKA Normal) so no matter how fast the coast phase is sped up, when it's time to fire the engines time will go back to normal speed and fire when programmed. I screwed up by running the coast phase at 10x.
Just a thought.
Did you design the satellite? it looks pretty cool.
🤪
@kittman i just uploaded one with your idea, thanks
