I often play smaller sims, especially during the early parts of a TT when you only get a train every 30 mintutes or so - at very high rates of time acceleration. This works great....until you get a phone call, which sends you scurrying to lower the speed to answer the call.

I'd like an option to automatically drop to 1x speed when a call comes in, and then a simple keybinding/gui button to return to the previous speed once the call has been dealt with.

Press n, not sure why the wiki page shows capitals with an instruction to use lower case.

When I play at very high speed to get past a quiet spot, I have my finger poised on the 'P' key (Pause). Soon as the phone goes off or a new train enters the territory, I hit pause, drop the speed to 1:1 then resume.

Simples. :-)

Equally, you can use F to speed through 5 minute intervals.

In these scenarios I sometimes make sure everything's squared away and press F. Should a call come in, instantly press N, take the call, and if appropriate press F again.

Appreciate that's not returning to the speed you've chosen, but it might be a bit of a workaround.
