Time Signature: 4/4 same duration of 4/8?

[Nowhk]

Today I'm addicted with time and such

Trying to game with different time signature in FL, but not sure got it correctly.

60BPM.
If I play setting project to 4/4 time signature (quarter notes), 4 beats duration is 4 seconds, correctly.

If I play 4/8 (eighth notes), the duration of 4 eightn notes should be 2 seconds (half a beat), but its still 4 seconds.

Missing something?
