Help With "Pause" Needed

Featured Replies

Is there a “Pause” command anywhere that will not bring up the Menu with it? I just want to be able to pause and see what’s out the window and not be taken to a menu screen…Thanks a lot!

Just hit the "Pause" button on your keyboard.

Kind regards,

Yes. Give me a minute and I'll find out where it is...

In your keyboard profile, under Miscellaneous, look for Set Pause On and Set Pause Off. Personally, I assigned CTRL-P to Set Pause On, and CTRL-G to Set Pause Off.

Jim: I did as you suggested but both of those commands still bring up the Menu...Could I have a conflict someplace?

There's also Active Pause, available from the toolbar at the top of the screen.

I have used that method as well.  Just be aware that in the background MSFS does not stop its clock that tracks hours for your flight log.  So if you pause for an hour to say eat lunch and then return to flying, your two hour flight is logged instead as three hours.  Not sure if the world clock keeps advancing.

As far as I'm aware the pause time will get subtracted from your total flight time when it gets logged, if this is active pause. Have to make sure to pull the throttle all the way back when pausing for an hour or the fuel tanks may be empty 😉

Possibly. When looking at the keyboard profile, on the left side, click once in Search by Input, then press the key combo you assigned to the above commands. That should show you if you have anything else assigned to that key combo.

Yes, as Jim says, 'Set Pause On' and 'Set Pause Off' is definitely the way to go.  Better than the 'Active Pause'.

Jim: Thanks for the tip on locating conflicts...It worked...There were all sorts of double programmed keys throughout the menus...Spent lots of time scrolling and found most of them...Now I am starting with a clear assignment list...Very cool...Thanks again...
