I took off from NFFN in Fiji and as soon as I opened the VFR Map the sim paused for 1 to 2 minutes (which is a long time). The sim came back at the end of the pause but paused again during the flight for no obvious reason. I tested this in both VR and Monitor flights. Both behaved similarly.
The first time, in VR it occurred about 10mins into the flight. When flying on the monitor, I took off, flew downwind and called up the VFR Map. It instantly paused for about 2 mins. I’ve NEVER seen this type of pause in preveious iterations of the product.
It happened again about a mile from the airport on approach to land. See the shot I took that clearly shows nothing is under stress and the GPU is doing “nothing”. The next shot shows the GPU picking up once the sim continued. The pause was almost 3 minutes.
