Game time and real time.

I have been wondering how much 1 hour of game time is to real time. I have been told the 1 hour of game time is about 15 minutes of real time. Can any one confirm this or is it something different. Any one???

I only heard that the timescale is different in Citys then outside of it.
But it have no idea if it had to do with the scaling of the map, or if the time really goes slower in the citys

If I do remember it right, there is 3 timescale, in the city & gas station @ 1/3, on the little roads @ 1/7 and the highways @ 1/11 ... or something like that.

PS: @ 1/3 = 1 min IRL > 3 min in game.

From one of the Developers:

The time scale depends on where you are. In some places such as cities or service stations it is about 3x faster than the real time while elsewhere it runs much faster (15-19x).

I timed it to 4 real life minutes per in-game hour on the freeways.

That would be the 15x speed that Komfr mentioned. It might vary sometimes though, since he said 15-19x...
It's probably between 3-4 seconds per minute, sometimes I count 3, sometimes 4 :-)

Info from some mods gave me 1:19 for mainland europe motorways, 1:16 for UK motorways and 1:4 for cities.

That sounds about right then, why it would vary. Probably 1:15 for UK though :-)

I did a Timelapse Video of the Country some time last year, and it was 3 Hours to pass 24 Hours in the location. Thought i'd do another 1 in a City, not knowing that it was different times.

This ended up being 8 hours recording time =\ I was scratching my head and thought I did my Maths wrong until I read that the time Scales in different locations haha. Lucky I had a Comp next to me to do something else rather than watch this for 8 hours.
