Don't use active pause in Fenix

Featured Replies

I got a 10 minute phone call, and put MSFS in pause as I usually do, and I was about 1/2 way through the flight. Finished the phone call, toggle pause off, and that was it, the sim was frozen, AP was engaged, I was supposed to be climbing but altitude stayed the same, finally just had to end the flight. 

 

 

 

I never understood the active part. Why would i want active pause and not just Pause as usual?

I never use active pause. I press escape and then resume to go back. It always works for me.

Bob, as Lee suggested above, just hit the escape key as if you were changing your settings. It's real pause and leads to a thousand fewer issues.

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Only thing that keeps running when pausing is the clock/timer.....

In “full” pause all buttons and keys are frozen, Active pause you are ‘freeze’ in position but still have operates buttons and some keys, for example make some changes on MCDU, very useful in a plane which is supposed to be operated by two persons.

Yes can be done but sometimes my throttles still go back to idle doing this.

I just use P and ctrl+P for Usual pause on/off

What is the point of a pause that doesn't pause? Another strange design decision.

It happened to me that the Fenix app lost connection to the sim while I paused the sim using esacpe for longer time. I guess that's what the Pause function in the Fenix MCDU - Maintenance - is for.
