MSFS 2022 Freezes After "P" is Pressed

Featured Replies

Hi,

Just getting familiar with MSFS 2022,  I was flying the Cessna 152 with no problems when I wanted to pause the sim. I pressed the "P" key. I forgot that the new sim uses "Pause Break" key instead of the "P" key. The sim paused completely with no sound. I pressed P again and tried different keys but nothing worked. I exited with the ESC key, and went back to the previous  screen, then tried to go back to the flight. The flight resumed, but with no sound. i tried several times but could not get sound back. I had previously changed a few bindings on the yoke when I first got the sim but nothing else.

I have Thrustmaster pedals and a CH Products yoke.  Thanks.  Tom

Problem solved.  Thank you!

 

Can you tell us how you solved it Tom?  I had this once and just pressed lots of keys until it came back, but I don't  know the proper answer.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Hi,

In order to unpause, just press ctrl+P.

Regards,

Bruno.

For some reason Asobo mapped it so that the unpause key is not the same as the pause key 🤦‍♂️

To be honest, after two years, I still haven't understood the "active pause" and why anyone would use this compared to the regular pause function that can also be bound to a key.

The main difference is that with active pause, you can still rotate the camera and explore the cockpit and/or scenery without fear of the aircraft crashing. On regular pause, the menu will open and you can't do that.

The menu comes up with the ESC key, but by pressing P (regular pause), the sim freezes and you can still rotate the camera and explore the cockpit. I guess the main difference is that with the Pause key (active pause) the aircraft systems are still running and you can press buttons, only the aircraft won't move.

Well, I didn't know about this one. I only use ESC as pause.

That is nice if you use a switch button - one way to pause and the other eay to unpause. Works perfect on my Bravo throttle quadrant.

I use the Select and Start buttons on my throttle. Still annoying, I could use select for something else if unpause didn't need a seperate command.
