ac103010 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I've read from a number of sources that the way to stop this is to uncheck "pause when exit". But this doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llivaudais Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) you may be confusing CONFIRM ON EXIT with PAUSE ON TASK SWITCH. You can confirm that the "pause" setting is NOT CHECKED in "Settings/General" but also confirm the setting is actually set in the fsx.cfg file as [user interface] PAUSE_ON_LOST_FOCUS=0 I say this because, as best I know, FSX writes to the config file as the sim is shutting down properly - if you shut down with CONTROL + BREAK, the config file will not be updated and any changes will be lost. If your config file is not being updated, then you would have to change it manually.

ac103010 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not sure whether we're singing from the same hymn sheet. What I'm looking to do is to run other programs, such as checking my emails, whilst the sim continues to run. However, I later found that the sim does, in fact, continue running when other progs are run in the background but the sound is muted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llivaudais Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Muted is correct. P3d has muted sound as an option, but you're stuck with it in FSX.
