Mac6737 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Sounds silly, I know. But the Welcome screen has no ESC option! As far as I can tell, the only way to open a saved flight is to create a new one and load it; only then does the sim give you an ESC option, so you can search for and load the flight you wanted to begin with. It takes me about 5 minutes from boot-up to flight, and the extra step takes another three minutes. Am I missing something? Or are the people who designed this thing really that obtuse? BTW, in both FSX and P3D the opening screen had a "Load" tab, permitting you to go straight to any saved scenario. Given that this bright idea has been in MS FlightSim for at least 20 years, I have to wonder what kind of perverse mind would decide to eliminate it in the new product. But, as I say, I may be missing something. Mac6737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Mac, yes you're missing pressing the spacebar in the world map screen which is for Load OR Save flightplan.

g7rta Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 When you launch the sim and it’s on the start page.. (with no option to load a flightJ simply press the world map and the option to load appears :) Edit: you beat me to it Tim Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

g7rta Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Later discovery: If you're in Windowed mode, you can't see that! I can & I run in windowed mode. You may have to drag the bottom of the window up/down. Also I have the taskbar set to automatically hide so it’s not in the way.

tiger1962 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 If you double-click in the white bar at the top, the window will resize to fit your screen and any text displayed along the bottom of the screen will be visible.
