Fenix a320 disconnected from sim after SIM load/save option during a flight

[JungleSangsue55]

Hi,
I have a problem with the Fenix A320:

During a long flight with no problem, I need somtimes to leave my pc for any other reason (lunch, diner, other things i have to do, etc…)

In order not to loose my flight and also let my computer not on load, every time I have to do this, I proceed as follows:

• I hit the ESC key to escape the flight,
• Now, among other choices, I can load/save something, I press load/save
• now i am asked to select from where i want to load something, i choose « from this PC »
• then there is a W10 window displayed in order to choose from where I want to load something.

And I leave my computer in this state.

At this moment, the SIM has no control of the computer (we are in the W10 services) and as a consequence the workload of the computer is far lower than in the SIM (the fans are less noisy)

So i let my computer in this state and go doing other things (e.g. lunch/diner)

Some time later (one hour later for instance, I return back to my computer.

I still have this W10 window of choice to load something.

So I hit « Cancel », i return back to the SIM, then I hit « Cancel » again, i return back to my interrupted flight.
I hit « Resume » and now I am back in my flight where it was escaped.

The problem occurs here: if I want to go inside the Fenix EFB, It says that it is disconnected from the Sim. And no mean to return inside the EFB.

With the Fenix app, i tried « Restart », but it restarts the plane also and the flight is lost (all plane parameters are reset to the initial status of the plane.

So is there a solution to this problem?

When I use the FBW A32NX, no problem with this plane with the same scenario.

Thanks.

Patrice.

Take a look at this post, specifically option 3.

[HOW-TO] How to actually PAUSE the sim!

(Guide updated 15 September 2020 with permission of OP) You have perhaps heard that MSFS has an active pause feature but what about the traditional FSX style regular pause? There are three kinds of pauses: Active pause (default key: PAUSE): this freezes the plane but everything else goes on… which may end in disaster quickly: only use this when in level flight and to make a small adjustment to something (which may be hard to do while flying). It is not advised for taking screenshots or usin…

Also, you don’t need to go into load, etc. Just hit “esc” is pause enough. Does it disconnect if you just do that?

I regularly just hit ESC with the Fenix (or any other a/c) if I need to ‘do IRL’.
That’s all I do, and hit Resume when I’ve returned.

Not had any issues.

Hi,

The main concern I see with the fact to set Pause or ESC or any other solution like that is that doing so, the graphic card workload makes a jump to 80/90% (more than it is when the SIM is active).

With my scenario, the graphic card workload drops to 1% as the simulator is completely stopped by the system during the W10 service execution.

With my scenario, the problem occurs after some long time. If I use “Load” and then immediately Cancel and return to the SIM, no problem of disconnection.
