Mac6737 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm coming up on 2 months now. I have had ONE normal flight -- that is, with no bugs, errors, anomalies, etc. Tonight, I left Exeter (EGTE) in the Baron. Sudden loss of control. Paused a few minutes, and was able to resume. Successfully engaged AP on NAV and ALT. Lookin' good. Then I paused and went into the drop-down menu to alter the clouds. On return, TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL! Plane headed straight up for the moon. It did respond to extreme pressure on joystick and, oddly, steady nose-down pressure on tab trim. Eventually regained control, but could never again engage AP successfully. Back to P3D, until they get this thing flying right and publish a real manual. (Maybe I'll cool off by morning.) Mac6737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Don’t use Active Pause? Go into the optionns menu and set up keys for conventional pause on and off. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vern and Amberdog, Well, I've been using Active Pause with no apparent problems until this week. Using the ESC key would be nice, except you forget that when you ESC to pause, you're looking at the Home Page, and cannot manipulate your controls, or pull down the in-flight menu. Finally, I noticed early on that the old P key did not work; took me a while to realize that Active Pause is different from Pause in FSX, where it freezes the screen and turns off the sound. So I thought my Pause/Break key was defective, and I assigned Active Pause to the P key. Are you telling me there's a "conventional pause" like the old one in FSX? I don't think so.

tiger1962 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yep, if you open the Controls settings page and search for "pause" it's there but not assigned. You need to assign "p" for pause, and "Ctrl+p" for un-pause, then Save the settings. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

lawlegge Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Isn't there a 'TOGGLE PAUSE' - say there is. What was wrong with - P = pause -->> P again = un-pause What we don't need is more keys to press - 3 keys to enable and dis-able 1 function (???)... Is it just me or...

lawlegge Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 OK...inquiring minds... So this is what I found; Under 'Controls/keyboard' (make sure 'Filter' is "All"). 'MISCELLANEOUS'; - "SET PAUSE OFF" - "SET PAUSE ON" 2 separate settings - 2 separate keys can be set... 'MENU'; - "TOGGLE ACTIVE PAUSE" - default key = PAUSE - "TOGGLE PAUSE" - default key = ESC So there it is. 'Set' keys under 'MISCELLANEOUS', or default settings under 'MENU' with "TOGGLE".

Thanks for your efforts. I changed "TOGGLE ACTIVE PAUSE" to the Pause/Break key. It does nothing, so maybe that key really is defective on my keyboard. Then I did what you said under MISC, and SET PAUSE ON = p, PAUSE OFF = CTRL + p. I don't believe I saw any difference between that "Pause" and "Active Pause." Motor keeps going.

tiger1962 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Just a thought here, but has anyone experiencing these problems "optimized" their Windows 10 by removing "un-necessary" apps as recommended by some online "expert"? Some of these "un-necessary" apps are actually necessary to MSFS, so you're much better off with a "vanilla" Windows 10 than an "optimized" Windows 10.
