3DMark animation skip option

[BigMickey]

Hi Developers,
Awesome job on this simulator, but there are some minor annoyances that i would appreciate if you could have a look into:
it would be great if there was an option to fast forward or skip 3dmark animation. i understand that it is realistic to have the full animation to simulate a real test, but with a lot of missions it soon becomes boring to have to wait for the 3dmark to complete. Also, if i accidently click my mouse while the animation is on, the whole test just stops and i have to run the 3dmark from the start. could you please fix that ?

You can mitigate the annoyance of having to run 3d mark by getting a second table, work on another pc while 3d mark is running on the first.
As for the second part, yeah that is really annoying. It would also be nice to be able to see the hardware monitoring software during the benchmark too.

You can skip the first segment of the 3DMark by alt+tabbing, do it 3 times and you complete it.

@Thaun_: Thanks for the awesome workaound. alt+tab works. i still wish there was an in game option to do this.

you dont skip 3d mark testing in real life you sit through it so not having it in the game world make no sense

@Tucker1975: This is a sim and not real life. If i go by your logic we shouldnt be able to end a day in the game whenever we want either, we could just wait out 24 hours as in real life. that wouldnt make it fun now will it?

Talking about tasks we have to do while building a PC, there is a lot more than we got in this sim e.g taking care of your cable clutter and so on, and this sim takes care of that for you. In the same way i just wanted to add a few more conviniences to make the sim more fun than real life. Thats the power of a simulator, it can keep the good bits while removing the boring tedious bits, otherwise no one would play it. Also, if you noticed in the game, you can actually buy a cable tool that plugs all 'boring' cables in for you automatically when you power the PC on. Well, that just opens the pandora box doesn't it.
I see your point, but you dont see mine. Read my comment again and again until you get it my friend.

Have you seen the roadmap to the fgame ?


Plus you don`t have to use the cable tool I rather do it myself like in real life :)
