jrdale210 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 As a real world pilot with 3200 hrs and somewhere around 70 types logged from ultralight to trikes to jets but now medically retired, so far I am very happy with the existing msfs2020 and more so with the potential for improvement in the IFR areas. But after years with X-plane I really do not enjoy the "Pause" where it is really not a pause, (so you have to hit "ESC" and resume to get a pause. Secondly X-plane told you the speedup rate from real time, and had an accurate speeded up airspeed so you could know where you were at. On long flights I like to speed up but want to know what rate I am at and when to ease back to real time. Come on microsoft/asobo get with it on these two upgrades please and make this old BC bush pilot happier.

davidc2 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The "Active-Pause is a very well known bug :) (or perhaps it is working as designed, who knows, lol). For me, I just map the "P" key to pause and Ctrl "P" to unpause (will have to look at making it a toggle, hmmm). Anywho, that's my workaround for the bug/designed ACTIVE-Pause Windows 10 Pro, 32 gigs DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GForce RTX 3070, Intel I7 10700 running at 3.8, with Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler-HP Reverb G2 for Virtual Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJohnJohn Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 If I can suggest when you have to pause the sim, Hit escape, then the menu pops up. That's the only way to stop everything except time in the program. Thermaltake Ryzen Gen 9 3900x 12 cores, 4.6 ghz 32 gig of Ram, Liquid Cooled Everything.

It is user friendly and can be moved off to another screen. Now for a full pause other than ESC. regards, John Windows 11 MB MSI X-570 -A Pro, CPU--AMD Ryzen 5-5600 3.7 GHz, 6 core, 16G Ram, DDR 3600 MHz AMD Radeon 6800 Graphics card.

daspinall Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) when you start in the air the pause is a very good tool....... it's there if you need it, if you don't need it then there's nothing to chat about really it becomes a pointless conversation... I would like to see the option in settings for turning off Drone names but keeping the plane names that would have more value to the user as it affects everyone.......
