| Purchased this yesterday and only managed one approach... all other times the sim freezes and using my pause toggle does nothing. When I close Instant Approach my pause toggle works and the sim works as normal, so something is amiss!

Hi OnCourse:
Glad to help.
Good news - users are not reporting this problem so the issue is related to the configuration of the specific PC - and we can solve this.
It sounds like the results you are describing are those that will occur until the additional pause function is set up in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, as described in FS Instant Approach's manual.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 now has 2 pause modes and the one triggered by our FS Instant Approach is not the "active pause" mode.
The FS Instant Approach manual (page 2) explains...
Requires Key to END PAUSE MODE in Flight Simulator
IMPORTANT! When FS Instant Approach puts you on approach it will PAUSE Microsoft Flight Simulator
2020. You must define a key or button in Flight Simulator to END PAUSE MODE so that you can end it
and fly the approach. Defining this key or button can be done very simply at the Controls screen of
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Note that this is NOT the “ACTIVE PAUSE”. This is “Miscellaneous – Set Pause OFF”.
That's it! Have a great week of flights!

Thank you for your reply, but as I said im my opening post that does not work I already have keys setup to turn that pause mode on/off... I use P to turn it on and Ctrl+P to turn it off. It's NOT the Active Pause.

Hi OnCourse:
As you can imagine, in order to resolve issues as quickly as possible, I have to be as technically clear as I can and as your original post said "my pause toggle" I had to state the procedure to use, so we can be sure it is being used.
At what exact point does "the sim freeze" ?
What was done immediately before this occurs?
Which screen were you in in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?
At what geographical location was the aircraft?
What runway was the FS Instant Approach approach at?
Is that runway an add-on?
Please let me know.

It seems to be at the point the scenery has been refreshed and I can see the target airport
What was done immediately before this occurs?
Selected 'Connect' in FS Instant Approach
Which screen were you in in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?
Cockpit
At what geographical location was the aircraft?
I've tried various but the last one I was at KLAX and entered EGLL into Instant Approach.
What runway was the FS Instant Approach approach at?
9L
Is that runway an add-on?
No, I have no addon airports, this is a fresh installation of FS2020 on a new PC

Hi OnCourse:
The time taken to load the scenery can vary a great deal depending on a number of factors including how Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is configured - can you please do some approaches which are at different runways at the airport the aircraft is already at so we can see if this is a timing issue?

Okay, I think I may have a recreate for you.
The first time I tried today everything works as it should, but after landing I went back into Instant Approach and changed the approach airport to another on without 'disconnecting'. At that point the new approach scenery starts to update and looks like it's complete, but the pause off key will not work at all.
Hope that helps

Hi OnCourse:
We've done testing here to reproduce this and indications so far are that the behaviour may depend on which screens the pilot has visited and which functions have been used during a session of FS Instant Approach.
When Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has had this inability to exit pause, have you, while CONNECTED to FS Instant Approach:
Used MSFS 'Travel To' teleporting?
Used MSFS 'Active Pause'?
'Reset'/'Restart' the flight inside MSFS?
Left the flight by returning to the main menu?
Changed the airplane you are in?
Used any developer tools?
Please let me know.

Hi Jeff
The only one I may have used would have been Active Pause... I will do some more testing this evening and let you know what happens

Hi OnCourse:
Excellent - many thanks.
It is puzzling as folks are not reporting this issue in general - so we can only imagine that there is a certain combination of actions that produces this pickle.
