The Real-Time Simulation Mode Section of the Play Menu (Play Menu >> Real-Time Simulation section) allows you to begin real-time simulation. To begin real-time simulation, select a Simulation Speed and a Target Date, and then click the Start Real-Time Simulation button. You are immediately taken to the Live Coverage screen described earlier in the manual, where you can watch the action unfold!

Once real-time simulation has begun, this section will display the options to either pause or finish the simulation.
