I use DBPro

I want to set up a time compression system say 2 minutes of real time is 60 minutes of game time. Would this be best done via a function? I know I cant do it in the main loop because the delay would effect the movement.

this time compression would effect objects (sky box, sun model, etc). Have weather....

Would you control with functions, a DLL or something else?

A push in the right direction would be nice.

surely you just need to use timer to find out when 2mins have gone by, then increment an hour variable which causes the sun to move in the sky/skybox to rotate/lower ambient light?

no timer() just returns the internal system time, or something like that its when you use it with some other stuff you can pause your program
