ac103010 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I've unchecked the box which says Pause On Task Switch but the sim still pauses when I open another external program. How can I stop this? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnuss Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Given all the responses above and your replies, Allan, are you certain the sim is actually pauses? I ask because that feature works for the rest of us and because the display of information might pause, but when you put your focus back on the sim it should update the display according to the length of time elapsed. But if the PAUSE button is unchecked, the .cfg =0 and there is an actual pause in operation (not just display), then you are beyond what most of us would know to do. Larry N.

ac103010 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yes, you're right. The sim doesn't pause. What's happening is the sound turns off and I assumed that the sim paused, but it hadn't. So the unchecking of Pause on Task Switch works. However, because the sound turns off then ATC transmissions will be missed unless the screen is being monitored. But thanks for pointing out my mistakes. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 You might be able to pipe the audio though something called a virtual audio cable. But I'm not too sure. Just thinking outside the box. I use a few virtual audio cables and will have to see if it's possible. I do use more than one screen so going between tasks does make the Sim audio mute, but not the Sim as I found that option early on when I installed more than one screen. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood why FSX cuts off the audio if the Sim is set to not pause between task switching. Microsoft didn't really think this one through.
