Improve the skip feature (suggestion)

    I have 2 suggestion for that skip option:

    1: The same thing like the old one but you can choose yourself how far in time you travel (or the distance). It’s better because sometimes I wanna skip the boring part of a cruise flight but I also wanna deactivate the AP myself in time and approach myself, but with the old I click skip once and I am already landing :/.


    2: Basically just speed up, like replay mode you can choose the speed of your flight, that way we can see where we currently are also get to experience the sunset/sunrise/etc.

    Kind of boring when you click on the currently skip button and you only see following: A black screen and a plane symbol moving in NM. Then you spawn somewhere random.

    A slider would be nice.


    Also, the "step climb" feature included with time skip usually causes the aircraft to stall, which is quite annoying. I'd rather not have the auto-climbing implemented.

    Kind regards and safe flying.

    Another thing, the curvature of the earth will ascend the aircraft in time skips. I once found myself stalling at fl400 over the Atlantic when i intended to go fl380. I think planes move in straight lines during time skips thus the higher altitude.
