Version: 1.5.26.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low

Bug description:

The new photo mode in MSFS 2024 (Shift+V) acts like Active Pause, freezing the aircraft in place. But activating it does not send the usual events through SimConnect_SubscribeToSystemEvent.

Pausing/unpausing with “Pause” key while photo mode is active also does not send any system events.

Repro steps:

  1. SimConnect_SubscribeToSystemEvent(hSimConnect, “Pause_EX1”, …);
  2. Engage photo mode (Shift+V) and observe events received
