May 29, 20224 yr Does P3D have an Active Pause like MSFS and DCS? If not, it needs to cuz it is extremely convenient when trying to learn a complex aircraft or procedure.

But you can still do stuff in the cockpit and AI aircraft and vehicles still move. Like I said, that is extremely helpful when you're trying to learn a new complex aircraft or procedure.

June 2, 20224 yr OK, let's take a break before you guys go any further down the road of embarassing yourselves by slagging on LM for not implementing something that, well, they actually did implement, and many years ago. If you go into P3D's controls menu, you'll find controls for "Freeze Latitude and Longitude" and "Freeze Altitude". You can directly set a button or key assignment in P3D to toggle a freeze of the acft's position. Additionally, P3Dv3, P3Dv4, and P3Dv5 all have long-established sim controls that will freeze the aircraft lattitude, longitude, altitude, and/or attitude. Those controls are (from John/Pete Dowson's control lists): 66827 FREEZE_ATTITUDE_TOGGLE 66828 FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET 66829 FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_TOGGLE 66830 FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET 66831 FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUE_TOGGLE 66832 FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUE_SET 66833 FREEZE_ALTITUDE_TOGGLE 66834 FREEZE_ALTITUDE_SET You can use FSUIPC to send those controls with a button, switch, or macro, or you can use a Lua script to turn the freeze settings on/off as desired. Or, if you don't have/want FSUIPC, you can use your own program using Simconnect to trigger those controls. For example, here's a simple sample Lua script to toggle a position freeze of the aircraft lat/long and altitude: --Lua script to toggle position freeze (lat long altitude) ipc.control(66829) ipc.control(66831) ipc.control(66833) Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
