I actually used Supercruise to go to another nearby star when I just started in Elite, but was disappointed to find out that the system doesn't load in unless you do an actual jump. Did find the 2001c maximum speed easter egg though, so that's cool
How long did it take? The system didn't load in because those wormhole animations are cleverly disguised loading screens.
It must have taken at least 45 minutes. I remember enjoying the 'realism' though and just left it going while I made a sandwich
