Background Thrust doesn't allow timewarp past 10x during a maneuver?

[sonic pulsar]

No idea why, the mod allows much faster time warp if I'm not doing a maneuver, but with one the max is always 10x. I'm new to these huge Dv burns and maneuvers but I feel like you should definitely be able to do this, are there settings for background thrust somewhere that I'm not seeing? Also the game kindly crashed while I was taking this video.

I am also aware that the maneuver in this video isn't very necessary, since its just directly to target, but I'm still curious about this issue in more complex maneuvers.

hold alt and press . to use physics timewarp

no mods

[sonic pulsar]

I know about physics time warp

But these burns are hundreds of thousands of meters per second with a TWR of like 0.10 so physics time warp isn’t enough

That’s what the background thrust or persistent thrust mods are for

In flight

Looks a bit like that you have Persistent thrust and background thrust installed

[sonic pulsar]

That's what I was finding a bit strange, there's no tab for background thrust

Which i thought there was supposed to be

[sonic pulsar]

Theres only one marked as installed on CKAN but is it possible maybe they conflicted with each other? because I had persistent first and changed to background

[ebon peak]

PT adds no tab.
Is any autopilot running? Is an alarm or soi change in the near future

[sonic pulsar]

Mechjeb isn't running and there isnt any major SOI change coming up

I know those disable it

[ebon peak]

And you tried to activate increase the timewarp, by spamming the button in the video, right?

[sonic pulsar]

Yeah that's me pressing it, and I think spamming it like that causes crashes

I replicated it at least twice

[ebon peak]

Can you physic warp past 10x?
And use other Better timewap pre sets to get the exact point of error

Figured it out, its another issue causing it that's not related to background thrust.

I noticed recently that the burn time readout was wrong on super large maneuvers, and it seems like background thrust doesn't let you make a burn based off that estimate. Just hadn't mattered until now, since all those burns I was doing were torch-style flip and burns.

Which i guess changes the issue to if you know a way to get more accurate burn estimates

Mechjeb is one way, you can get it to auto warp to when the burn should actually start and then just take over

but thats a little annoying

It does this if you've not encountered the issue, just says an arbitrary time no matter what. In this case always 1d 3h

Maneuver nodes are often incorrectly

[sonic pulsar]

And theres nothing that can be done about it?

[ebon peak]

I mean for transfer to other stats you don't use nodes

[sonic pulsar]

Yes but for burns in an soi with a high efficiency ship its still wrong

[sonic pulsar]

Like I took this in orbit of a gas giant with the same ship from before
