This are the (new) Support Forums for FSUIPC and related products.
These forums replace the old support forums which have been running for 20+ years. The old forums contain a wealth of information on all FSUIPC products, and are still available (until the end of the year) for read-only here.
At the moment these new forums are quite empty – I will be updating the FAQ section and copying across the User Contributions from the old forums in the next few months.
Please note that you will need to Register and Login to post for support, and also to download attachments. You can view these forums without registering.
Support is also available via Discord. Please use the following invite link to join the FSUIPC Discord server:

The SetPauseMSFS&P3D.lua script attached below makes use of the FSUIPC Lua event and wnd libraries (as suggested by John Dowson) and can be used to pause MSFS or P3Dv4.5/v5.1 from 1 minute to days after the script is run. When run, the script asks for a pause time and if none if provided within two minutes the script closes with a brief message. If a pause time is entered, for example 260 minutes until a Top of Descent, the user would see
Then after hitting the Enter key the display would change to
This display will change once per minute as the time to pause counts down towards zero.
If the user decides to cancel the pending (future) pause with the Enter key, the display briefly changes to
When the pause time is reached, the sim pauses and looks just like a pause had been initiated with the ESC key. To cancel a paused sim you just need to click on Resume.
This script uses the wnd (Window ) library for display, so you can move the display window with the arrow keys and use the ctrl + arrow keys to resize the window. The window must have the focus to do this. The new window display position will be stored in your FSUIPC .ini file. As an alternative to using the arrow keys you can directly edit the window position and size coordinates in the FSUIPC7.ini file. Look for the entry under [ExtWindow]. It seems best to do this when FSUIPC7 is not running. You may also have to edit the window size and position in the lua file.
The script requires a registered copy of FSUIPC. If using MSFS, at least FSUIPC7 version 7.0.4 is required, or at least FSUIPC6 version 6.0.12 for P3D.
