Is it possible to increase the simulation factor greater than 1x with the beamngpy package?

Hi,

great question! We updated our documentation to add some information about how to run BeamNG faster than real-time. Check out [Deterministic Mode](https://documentation.beamng.com/beamng_tech/deterministic_mode/#faster-than-real-time-simulation) and let us know if something is unclear.

We don’t expose high-level Python API for that purpose, but you should be able to call the appropriate Lua commands:

```python
command = 'be:setPhysicsDeterministic(true)'
beamng.control.queue_lua_command(command)

```

That’s awesome! Thanks for the response!
