December 1, 20223 yr I inadvertently paused a flight just now in the PMDG 737-600 around 50NM before TOD for around 30 minutes. When I came back to the Sim I noticed the fuel quantities were exactly the same just before I stepped away and when I took the sim off pause the aircraft did not plummet towards the earth lol Just wondering if anyone else can confirm they are seeing similar behavior.

December 1, 20223 yr I assume you paused by pressing ESC rather than the Live Pause option from the addon bar? I think the 737 uses the Live Pause if you enable Pause at Top of Descent. I used it once ages ago and it messed up the flight Chris Ibbotson AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D / MSI AMD MPG x670E Carbon Motherboard / Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming OC 32GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card / Corsair DOMINATOR Titanium RGB Grey 64GB 6000MHz AMD EXPO DDR5 / NZXT C1200 Gold ATX 3.1 - Fully Modular Low-Noise PC Gaming Power Supply - 1200 Watts - 80 PLUS Gold / 48” UltraGear™ UHD 4K OLED Gaming Monitor / 40" Philips 4K LED Monitor / Honeycomb Alpha Yoke / Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant / WinWing Orion Rudder Pedals c/w dampener / WinWing Ursa Minor Airline Joystick / WinWing Airbus MCDU

I also tried pausing via the escape button and that also worked properly now.

I think it must have gotten fixed somewhere between SU11 & the recent PMDG update.

December 2, 20223 yr I needed to pause the sim for the first time ever just yesterday (using ESC) and I had so many issue when coming back after an hour. OVHD Panel issues, couldn't cutoff the engines after arrival, time didn't pause but continued counting, and many more issues. I was able to land tho, but it's safe to say, pausing the PMDG 738 using ESC does not work at all for me.
