Pausing sim appears to cause unrecoverable autopilot disconnect
-
This happened twice when I pause the sim to adjust my key bindings.
The minute I returned to the sim, the autopilot was disconnected and I could not re-engage it no matter what I tried.Perhaps I'm missing something but there seems to be a connection.
Attempted a third flight with no pause and it flew perfectly.

This isn't something we are able to replicate on our side, but we have seen one other report of a user having this issue. Could I kindly ask you to try and replicate this with an empty Community folder (with only the RJ installed) to see if that fixes the issue? That would help us narrow down the cause to a conflict with another product.

Hi Mark - yes, I can try that. I'll let you know.

Hi Mark - apologies, I don't have time to isolate the issue but I can suggest some add-ons to crosscheck. Aerosoft Pushback tool, FSUIPC, FlowPro, PMS50 GTN 750 (I don't use it during flights - but it is installed) and Stripr - I don't use GSX or anything else that does any writes to the environment variables (to my knowledge)

Had the same issue today. Had to pause the sim just before the final approach fix and then the autopilot was off and I couldn’t get it back on no matter what.

@piperdriver0624 In this example, could you let us know how you paused the sim? Was it using the PAUSE BREAK key (active pause), or using the ESC key (so the pause menu appears)?

Using P does not “kill” the autopilot. Only using ESC
