Fast Forward a Senario

I am working on a fairly long scenario (50 Minutes). I plan a fairly complicated maneuver at the end of it. I have gone through 5 or more attempts to accomplish the result I want. The "timetable" indicates everything is OK, but none of my methods have worked so far. In testing I must go through the whole thing to find out it doesn't work. Is there a way I can fast forward to the spot where I am having trouble so I can more easily test at that point?
Thanks for any suggestions.

add EnableAsyncKeys to your launch options.
Then ctrl-shift-1 through ctrl-shift-5 will at least speed up the clock so you can cut down on the driving time if there's some long hauling involved. You do have to be careful though, because it can mess up timings (as do the VCR controls in the scenario editor).

I'll second that! Yes, running your own scenario over and over again becomes tedious, even annoying, particularly since as you do so you tend to run it in less and less time due to the combination of expertise and impatience. However, that's the only way to get the job done. Except: I have occasionally worked around this situation by cloning the scenario I'm working on, deleting all of the early instructions from the clone, and using what's left to work out the closing moves. This isn't easy, but it's more interesting than running your own scenario another dozen times. Good fortune!
