Wouldn't the ESC key function the same in OR? That's what I do when the phone rings or whatever. Hit ESC and yak away, then when done just click 'Return To Activity'. Or if it's something pressing I have to attend to, click 'Save Activity'. OK and ESC again to Exit Activity.

But I always figured ESC was the 'pause button', and has served me well enough on MSTS all these years. I would hope OR to have the same feature as well still?

The pause key works just fine in V677 here, so you'll need to be significantly more specific in your issue.

Esc currently just closes OR and returns you to the menu. We will likely at least add a confirmation to that at some point.

James, do you mean a step to confirm you wish to EXIT to the menu, or CONTINUE to resume the session?

ATM, once you hit the Esc key it's too late.....specially if the hit was accidental. (It happens ;) !)

Thanks n cheers

That's generally what a confirmation does, yes. ;)

The version that I have here I.E. v677 indicates "None" for Pause when F1 is pressed. When I press the [Pause] key nothing stops!
How can I help resolve this issue?


By providing specifics - at least OS, keyboard make and connection type.

This is incorrect; the public release is V677.
