Saving positions - see FAQs

[miken5000]

I understand from the FAQs you cannot save your position on a long flight - I accept the principle mentioned there of not "cheating", but is there a chance in the future this option will be available in any future versions of this great programme

As you said, it would take away the realism of FSP and FS9. You cant really save a point in real life. You will have to ask dan!

In one of the early beta releases the saving option was there but it turned out that (because of the way how fs9 deals with some variables) it was not
possible to get a reliable save at any point in time. So for fs9 it most likely will not be implemented, no idea about FSX though

Try the following: Pause a game for a few seconds..unpause and watch the altimeter and speeds....see what happens...and now try to
get some sensible results on saving That's just one small example....or how about you saving a flight with throttles set to 70% N1 on
cruise, trim to 3º nose-up, when you restart the game try to get the same settings.....talk about g-forces before you know

Actually I've never had a problem with the pause setting. I often have to use it, and it's never caused any problems.
Is it different for jets?

Fair enough about not being able to save (apart from transatlantic flights, then it is a bit of a pain), but is it possible to accelerate time in FS
Passengers, without it getting messed up? Is there a download that returns to real time whenever ATC chimes in, or if there is a problem? If not,
maybe it's a good idea for an update?

Yes you can use Time accel (though using 8x max would be recommended) however you do get a 30% deduction in gained points.

Not sure about the addon, but ive read about an addon that pauses the sim when you are about to decend
