FLCompanion time calculations - Alex. - 08-30-2009

Hi,
I'm looking at FLCompanion's settings screen.
It has this section labelled "Time calculations", with boxes for the following:
  • Average speed for cruise travel
  • Average speed in trade lanes
  • Jump gate/hole delay
  • Trade lane docking delay
  • Base reaching & docking delay
I know the speed for cruise travel is 350, that's sorted.
But, however I don't know where to get the other values from.
These are the values it currently has:
  • Average speed for cruise travel: 350
  • Average speed in trade lanes: 1900
  • Jump gate/hole delay: 15
  • Trade lane docking delay: 10
  • Base reaching & docking delay: 20
Can someone give me the correct settings to it can calculate the times correctly?
If so, thanks!
Alex.
PS: This was the best forum I think it would fit in, as the values are specific to the mod.

Alex, those sound pretty close to me, but I wouldn't panic too much about the times being accurate, as they are really only close if you get a 'perfect' run, as in no pirates, no TL disrupts etc.

A run that FLcomp says should take me 20 mins can take 5-10 mins longer to do due to the things mentioned above and longer still if you are avoiding player Pirates!

default settings are pretty good. however, if you are skilled at quickdocking, adjusting those times a little can be accurate.
