As you know, we use the Pause Break key to halt the action in place while we, for one, capture some photos. I also use it if, say, I have to attend to something and resume many minutes later. Taking photos through the Print Screen function takes only a few moments. It is when I take a leave of, say, 10-15 minutes, that when I resume the airplane behaves out of control–diving, rolling, and such. I have to regain normal flight. Is this a bug in the program? Can’t we resume at the same condition as I left the flight which is all trimmed? Evidently, some inputs are put in effect while it is on Pause Break. What is your experience?

I don’t think it works properly, same has happened to me. I guess it messes up the navigation somehow.
With Active Pause while your aircraft is frozen it can still change speed and also any control input still effect your aircraft which then effect what happens when you un-pause. It’s better to set a key up for the normal pause, though I guess it can’t be used if you are flying online.
You can. Hitting the Escape key will essentially act the same way if you’re needing to step away for a few moments. Active Pause still tries to trim the aircraft, causing all of the erratic movement when unpausing after longer than a minute or two.
Not being much of a screenshot taker I use the ESC key to pause the simulator when I need to.
It would be nice though if AutoPause worked better for longer duration.
I would use AutoPause for screenshots and ESC to menu if you need to be away from the controls and using autopilot is not an option.
Even trimmed, and autopilot engaged in heading and altitude hold, it happens. I think I will use the ESC key option from now on…
thank you for the suggestion.

We need a pause key that really pause but where we can fly the drone
As mentioned above. I have found that the only way to pause reliably is to use escape key then resume the flight. Saving or using active pause are not reliable. I have used the escape key for over an hour and returned with zero problems.
