                  About:About

                  The Thottle controls the Tardis’ flight speed through the Time Vortex which affects its Time of Flight.

                  It also allows the Tardis to safely exit flight mode if they are already committed to an ongoing journey.

                  Usage:Usage

                    To increase flight speed, right click the Throttle control. Each interaction in this way will decrease flight speed by 10%.
                      To increase flight speed to 100% quickly, left click on the Throttle control. To decrease flight speed, Sneak and Right click the throttle control. Each interaction in this way will decrease flight speed by 10%
                        To decrease flight speed to 0% quickly, sneak and left click on the Throttle control.

                        Notes:Notes

                          If the user needs to stop flight during an ongoing journey, they must set the Throttle to 0 to safely ease the Tardis out of flight mode. Using the Handbrake to stop flight will cause significant damage to the Tardis sub systems and may provoke a negative emotional response from the Tardis.

                          The Throttle must be set to 10% flight speed or more to allow the Tardis to start its flight. At the end of each journey, the flight speed will default to 0%.

                           

                          A faster flight speed means the Tardis will be able to reach its destination in a shorter period, at a cost of consuming fuel at a faster rate.

                           

                          A slower flight speed means the Tardis will take a longer period to reach its destination but will consume fuel at a lower rate.
