:wave: Thank you using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it. Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it? No Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons? NA Brief description of the issue: …

This is not a bug. It is working as intended! Active pause continues to simulate the plane flying but stops it from moving. Another example of this is when you are climbing and active pause, your airspeed will continue to drop and then when you unpause, you will instantly stall. There are keybindi…

OP said it also happens with the Menu pause.

I believe menu pause also behaves like an active pause. If you want a proper pause you have to do this: [image] Speed1994: There are keybindings called ‘set pause on’ and ‘set pause off’ that you can assign to buttons in the settings. This will ‘properly pause’ the game. Then you can open th…

This is not a bug. It is working as intended! What is the purpose of that behavior? When is it useful?

Great question! The entire purpose to “pause” something is for it to temporarily stop functioning. I mean if you pause a movie, it doesn’t keep playing in the background only to skip ahead after un-pausing.

It is MEANT to allow you to do things like change settings while the plane stops mid-air but effectively keeps flying. In practice it is actually pretty useless.

may be makes sense to mention that Guide: [image] [HOW-TO] How to actually PAUSE the sim! Community Guides (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 regula…

Hi there, Indeed, this is a deliberate choice by the developers. Instead of closing this out, I’m going to move it to Community Support for others to see. In addition to the Wishlist topic suggested by Speed1994, you may also want to look at this one (feel free to vote for both if you would like –…

Active pause is pretty useless. FSX pause actually paused the simulation (including time) while allowing us to interact with the plane, I have no idea why this isn’t in this sim.
