This tool will help you with controlling and indicating current SimRate in Microsoft FlightSimulator 2020 via SimConnect.
It can display and announce the current SimRate via voice. Another feature is the automatic increase and decrease of SimRate along your flight plan.
Features
- Display current SimRate and distance to next waypoint in app
- Announce current SimRate via voice on change
- Automatic SimRate increase/decrease until final waypoint of flight plan is reached (description below)
- ...
Automatic SimRate
When you click the "Start Travel" button the SimRate will automatically increase and decrease when the final waypoint is reached
Best use this when you departed and autopilot and speeds are set.
The button will only be enabled if gps variables show a flightplan.
The conditions for auto travel to automatically stop are currently:
- 15nm before final waypoint in flight plan (before approach)
25nm before final waypoint on direct flights
Approach activated
Depending on cross track error and distance to the next waypoint, the SimRate will decrease to allow the autopilot to properly adjust heading. SimRate will increase after the waypoint again.
This tool will only work properly if the plane/avionics feed the GPS SimVars properly.

No matter if I closed simrate-bandit or checked in task manager if the program was still running.

The auto travel mode that automatically adjust the sim rate based on the flight path is also an innovative and useful feature to have

Only just found out about this tool when I was researching ways to get the IniBuilds A310 to accept higher sim rates. Works brilliantly thus far and is accelerating to 4x speed nicely.
I hope the developer will come back to this project as the two features listed on the TODO side sound very promising. I'd also love to see configurable options regarding the reduction of sim rate from the destination (i.e. allow the user to set the distance from destination and/or final waypoint). Perhaps a pause at top of descent feature would also be very useful here.
Anyway, very grateful for this tool. More time spent on departures and arrivals and less in cruise = more enjoyment of my hobby.
Thank you dga711!!!

This a great utility. Super simple to use, works well and it allows me to use smaller aircraft for longer flights. Thank you!

WOW - SU10 was looking great, but I had installed a small app to monitor speed rate just before the upgrade showed up, and I fear it has caused me great pain. After SU10 install completed, I rebooted and ran MSFS. Opening screens work fine, I can click on World and select a departure, but once I begin take off, the app is gone - CTD. After completely deleting that little speed rate app, I have done two uninstall/reinstalls. The second time, I removed all of "onestore" folder and did a Windows update. Then I went to MS Store and ran "Install for MSFS Premium -130GB later it's done. But the app does the same behavior. My MSFS had been running fine for a year before this - computer is Cyberpower i-5 10400 6/12 2.90ghz 2mb cache LGA1200 and Graphics is Geforce GTX 1660 Super 6GB GDDR6. I have also cleared Registry of all references to the app EXCEPT on entry which is locked and doesn't allow me to delete!! ONE STAR - I have downloaded and installed obviously but the stars didn't work...

Was working fine but now it works intermittently. Loads, says Simrate one but can't start travel, button grayed out. Used to be able to use CNTL and + to increase rate and use - to slow rate, Not working now. I deleted first download and redownloaded but same issue. Nothing new added or sim updates. Nice when it works. I'd give it 5 stars but only 4 1/2 since problems have started. Maybe an update is needed for FS Sim Bandit to work properly.
