Well put caldrail. Thank you.
Here it is, copied and pasted from the PF readme.
Time Skip: This feature allows players to quickly transfer between mission waypoints in cases when flying normally would take too long. When using this feature the 3D render is completely turned off, and only the in-game clock is shown in the bottom left corner of your screen. During time skip the game does fully model all normal AI aspects, such as fuel consumption, pathfinding, etc. In other words, all game processes run as usual, only in accelerated time.
Please note that this feature heavily relies on your machine's processing power, and its general speed will depend on your hardware specs and the number of AI aircraft and other objects in the mission.
No key is assigned to this feature by default. You will need to bind one in the Controls section of the game.
Unfortunately, because my computer is so puny, it doesn't run that much faster than the 8x Speed option. As fly_zo said, the screen is blacked out and only shows a counter in the bottom right corner so I think I'll keep using the 8x Speed option so I can see what's going on during the flight.
If 8x is as fast as it can run then maybe I'll keep a good book handy and catch up on some reading during the Pacific missions.
