If I recall, this issue also exists (or at least existed at one point) with the a310. The plane will continue to use fuel even with the simulator is paused. This might account for some of the other reported failures of "everything turning off". - Everything is turning off because the plane ran out of fuel when unpaused.

More info for Ini: Pausing isn't pausing. The plane stops moving, but fuel burn among other things continues. Paused a flight last night to pick it up in the morning and as soon as I unpaused, I had zero fuel left and the plane immediately shut down and started diving.
