Pause/Autopilot

[John Snyder Jr 42]

I've noticed that if I'm flying and using the autopilot, doesn't seem to matter which plane, that if I put the sim in pause when I come back the plane is completely uncontrollable and crashes after about 5 minutes of trying to recover. Anyone else having the problem or have I got something set up wrong, thanks!

Try this: Go into the Keyboard settings, set the Filter to "ALL"  and search for "pause." Under the Miscellaneous heading, you'll see "SET PAUSE OFF and "SET PAUSE ON." This is different from Active Pause and it's not bound to anything in the default profiles.

I set "p" for SET PAUSE ON and "shift p" for SET PAUSE OFF (annoying that it isn't a toggle), but you can use anything you want that doesn't conflict with something else you need. Save as a new Keyboard Profile. 

I haven't tested this extensively with anything but AP On (wing leveler), Altitude Hold, and Heading Hold with the Cessna autopilot, but it doesn't seem to throw the AP into fits when the sim is paused and then un-paused a few minutes later.

NOTE: This version of pause does not allow any control inputs or instrument manipulation, so it's best used for taking photos (the drone camera still works in this mode) or stepping away from the computer for a while.
