Minimum rates of climb/descent for VFR

If I decide to make a gradual climb from 4500 to 6500 feet westbound (gradual meaning 200 fpm or so), is this allowed, or do I have to meet or exceed some minimum rate? I'm familiar with the regulations that prescribe the proper altitudes to maintain, but I don't see anything about rates of climb or descent. Since you are not flying, why do you care? Pick any altitude you like and type it in, you'll save valuable simulated flying time that way. Cheers No.. there are no regulations in Microsoft programming language that prevent MX from climbing or descending at whatever rate he chooses under CFR (computer flight rules).
