Add Pause/Resume simulator EVENT in event_subscribe

[nnyerges]

Hi, i know you guys are bussy right now in Germany.

It will a nice help for those that use the Air Manager/Players in professional mode, to add a PAUSE/RESUME simulator event in the event_subscribe(callback) . Why? ..in a FSTD session, the instructor several times pause the simulation to give some instructions to the pilot/copilot. In the mean time, someone of them (pilot/copilot), can change a switch or a control during the pause event, but if you resume the simulator, WE programmer's dont have any signal to trigger back all inputs states of all controls and switchs possitions before continue and everything its mixtup. Actually you have to manually move all controls or switchs after resume.

EDITED:
When sim its paused or freeze, hardware IO's scripts keeps running and any physical changes that pilot/copilot do its reflected inmediatly in to the sim, so the above description doenst make any sence. My mistake.

Hi,

Would persist not work.
You could save the events to persist then recall on resume.

You're right, Keith, and also an initial read of the hardware and a callback request does the job. I just realized that this topic subject: "Add pause/resume simulator EVENT in event_subscribe", it's ok but it's not really what I want to achieve and I'll will post a new topic like: "Add START SIMULATION to the event_subscribe" will be more accurate for my subject .

In the meantime and to take advantage of this topic, it's not a bad idea to add PAUSE/RESUME/FREEZE events inside event_subscribe in the API. Just use

sim/time/paused

or

sim/operation/freeze_toggle

Have a good weekend and Father's Day for those who celebrate it!
