Active PAUSE

[peirof]

Hi, 

 

In Dcs there are two pauses:

 

- the NORMAL PAUSE, which if you press it stops everything, and you can't handle the controls of the plane, and

 

- The ACTIVE PAUSE, in which if you can make adjustments in the avionica... But yesterday I realized that the units are still moving (I guess with missiles and bombs, it will be the same)

 

 

Until now, I used the active pause, I'm a newbie, and I have a hard time finding which buttons I should press or procedure I should follow... But this discovery makes active PAUSE incontable. 

 

Is there a third pause (I guess not) that stops everything but you can continue to use the plane's avionica?

 

As you do... For example when you approach a target and you have to look for it on the radar, and fix it ... And with a mouse, you don't have the ability to press the MFD button

No there is not but you can slow down the time for such things.

Lol, I had the same thing, I used pause, was setting DDI's in line with a video from Wagner and BOOM i was gone. I was hanging still but the enemy was not.

Even more, you can even run out of fuel in active pause.

If you want to learn some stuff, make a little mission in the mission editor, keep it as simple as possible, just you and some easy targets and then you can use active pause as much as you want for learning purposes.

Come and support (bump) my wish here

Challenge with that is that before you learn the basics of how to use the weapons systems, you have to learn on how to use the mission editor

 

They don't make it easy for use beginners

Out of curiosity what were you trying to do when you got shot down? Most of the heads down work should be done before you run into the enemy. If you happen to be around the enemy unexpectedly, you can extend to give yourself time to setup your aircraft.

 

I'm not against more options for active pause, but I think improving your procedure and timing could also help you.

Yes but then... you as single player and one or a few non combat enemy planes (or a few easy ground targets) and that's it. Nothing complex, certainly no triggers, scripting etc is needed for this. And ones you have one that suits your needs your can use that as basis. Keep it as simple as possible.

I was doing a 2 vs 2 sidewinder (training) mission, you are about 15 miles apart, nose to nose. You just have time to turn on Chaff dispenser, select the sidewinder and you have tone!
