time at realtime

I would like to request a time option to allow 1:1 with real time. The issue comes up when trying to plan an event like the upcoming solar eclipse. You get 1:1 only with current time. Previously, I could get close by entering a fractional increment in seconds, but now it resets to integer 1. This seems about 20:1 real time.

The use would be previewing future (or past) events like eclipses and occultations giving a simulation of what to expect.

    Unless I'm misunderstanding, I believe you can do this now.  In the time flow panel, tap the units rectangle in the lower left.  This will bring up a list of possible units, one of which is "Real Time" (you have to scroll to see it).  Set it to that with a multiplier of 1 and you should have what you want.

    Ah, I missed that on iOS. No option on macOS where I'm doing the detail work. Thanks for iOS option anyway.

    I must have missed adding the "X Real Time" option to the Mac version when I was working on SS5.  I have just added it and it will be in the next release.  Thanks for pointing this out.
