Took a look at it, maybe not quite the same, but thanks. This is a major quality-of-sim issue for me. I don't even want to do medium or long flights if I have to fly without interruption. It's nice to pause and take a closer look at the wonderful scenery where I am or where I am flying over. Or pause just to take an extended break to do something else. With a pause in 2024 the clock runs and TOD moves forward, all the arrival times shift and any software watching the time declares me late and penalizes me accordingly. Fly 200 nm, take off in the morning and land in the evening. Clearly an immersion killer. Stopping time was solved in 2020, I'm not sure why the capability would be lost for 2024.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop time when pausing? I've tried 3 different methods of pause: active pause, menu pause, and developer mode, and although the aircraft stops flying, time does not stop. In 2020 the pause was simple, with any pause I could take a nap or take a break. Time didn't march on. In 2024 for long flights it gets ridiculous, with any pause, day becomes night, the passenger evaluation software fails complaining about hours long delays, etc. I've searched online but nothing appears to work. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I already have LittleNavMap, and you are correct that it also sees the valid MSFS airports. I looked for LFTH and sure enough the airport is visually there (just like MSFS map) but not recognized. I will use littlenavmap to verify valid MSFS airports from now on while I am getting set up. Thanks very much for the advice.

Hello, So I run online software to choose a valid commercial flight to fly, in this particular case LFTH to LFPO. I set up my simbrief flight plan and all my third party software, choose a livery, print out fuel calculations, etc. Then I start MSFS2020 and all of a sudden the airport (LFTH) is not recognized, even though it is visible within the MSFS map. Built in 1966 it's bizarre it is excluded although probably it is because of an adjacent naval base. Also it happens from time to time that newer airports (most often in China) are also not recognized in MSFS2020. So the main question: is there a tool available or way to tell what airports are recognized within MSFS2020 _before_ I start setting up the flight and all my third party software? It is highly annoying to prepare the flight and go through all the trouble only to discover at the last step that MSFS2020 has no idea what airport I am flying from or going to. Usually the same airports are active and visible in Skyvector, Simbrief, etc. and have scheduled commercial flights, so there is no way to know from those tools that MSFS2020 would exclude them.
