How to save a flight with pmdg 777 when flying

[gillesdenice 0]

Hello guys,
How is the correct procedure to save a flight with the 777 of PMDG when we are already flying ?
Because i paused the simulator, i saved the panel state then i saved the flight.
But when i load the flight again after opening FSX again, the 18 seconds delay to initiate the panel state make me loose thousands of feets.
Not very professionnal !!
How do you do ?
Thanks

First of all i think doing a full flight at a time is much better with a plane like pmdg 777. If you do want to save a flight I recommend you doing it the same way as you said and when u open it again disconnect the autopilot and fly manually for 18 seconds so that you can try and keep ur altitude level. As soon as the panel loads up wait for 5 seconds and then engage the autopilot again.
