Silly MSFS UI question

I started a flight, then hit Escape. I'm stuck in the options menu - how do I get back into my flight? Hitting escape again does nothing.

Cheers!

What "resume" button?

Now I see it, it was taking up the screen but not minimized and it was cutoff. What is amazing is that every option in that bottom menu has a keyboard shortcut, except resume. Impressive UI design.

Cheers!

Actually "Resume" is bound to Esc by default, see this random video at 9:02

Actually, it's not.  It was bound to Esc by default, but for some reason in SU5 they decided to change that.

This is correct.  Like with a lot of inexplicable things that got changed, just why?

The good news is this can be bound to the escape key once again, I have done it.  It takes seconds.

In keyboard settings, search for pause.  I think it shows pause on and pause off. Only one will be bound to the escape key, the other one isn't.  Simply bind it to the escape key as before.

Might sound too harsh or like a bad joke, but that's why I call this the Rainman-Buckethead patch. They got creative with the settings (think Buckethead), but the results were more like Rainman.
