How do I stop time marching on in MSFS?

Featured Replies

Since I usually use Live Weather the time and weather continue to advance when I use Esc.  That's really been no issue for me.  If I'm only gone for a few minutes then it's really not an issue.  However, if I'm gone for hours the plane is right where I left it but the weather and time have marched on ("live" means live).  So, as a previous post mentioned, I slide the time back to where I left off (I always make a note on it) and proceed.

After the time reset the sun, etc. is back where I stopped, but the live weather has moved on.  This sometimes bring in moving fronts with changing clouds and winds, so I may have to change my approach plans for the destination - kind of fun to work through sometimes.

As mentioned above, press ESCAPE (Now you are in a passive pause) press RESUME (you're back in your flight).

It does not pause the progression of time, which is what this thread is about.  I've been searching for a solution to this problem and it seems that there isn't one.  I find it frustrating when I'm recording a flight as a sequence of short clips (because remembering everything you want to demonstrate and operating the recording environment and flying the plane at the same time is a heavy workload) and all the pauses result in an unnaturally fast passage of time.  It's especially problematic when the scene changes noticeably such as a sunrise/sunset or if the moon is in the sky.  The best I can manage with the slider is 5 minute steps.  This is annoying because if I need to set it back one minute I have to set it back to the nearest five and wait for it to catch up to the correct point in real time while it's still paused.

I have since noticed that I can move it back and forth in 1 minute steps with the mouse wheel 🙂

Oh how i miss the P key like it was in FSX. You could screen shot or AFK for hours and come back to your flight and resume.
