I've been away for several months and just updated P2ATC to the new version.  My P2ATC is on one monitor and FSX-SE is running on another monitor.  My question is, is it normal for FSX-SE to pause whenever I go to look at something in P2ATC?  For example, I'll go to look up an approach or tower frequency, and while I do FSX-SE pauses until I'm done and I go back to the FSX screen and unpause it.  I've scanned the instruction manual but cannot seem to find anything about it.  I was watching a video of someone using P2ATC and to appeared that he was working in P2ATC and his flight sim was still working.  Just curious.  Thanks.

Have you got "Pause on Task Switch" checked in Settings/General?

Try running FSX-SE full screen, as opposed to windowed.

Best of luck           ;

In your FSX.cfg, there is a setting to stop this.

PAUSE_ON_LOST_FOCUS=0

This will stop FSX from pausing when it loses focus, but you will lose the sound tho.

Flight One Software has a utility called SoundStream that allows the sound from FSX to continue when working with other apps.

Thanks everyone for the responses.  I'm going to check each one out to see if I can get this fixed.  Much appreciated.
