jparnold Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Occasionally I forget to select a different aircraft from the one which 'defaults' after you start a 'flight' but cannot work out how to get back to the 'start' screen (the screen where you select aircraft, departure and arrival airport etc). Is it possible to 'navigate' back to that screen and restart the entire process or is the only option to shut MSFS2020 down and restart (which takes such a long time).

Cavulife Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The ESC key should allow you to go back to the main menu without quitting the whole program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparnold Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thanks. I have tried pressing the ESC key but that only returns me to the OPTIONS screen where you can select GENERAL, ASSISTANCE and CONTROLS and if I press the ESC key again then it returns back to the screen displayed before pressing the ESC key for the first time.

hobbitrocks Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 turn on Developers mode, something like that. Then during flight you can move your mouse up to top left hand corner of screen and you will get a menu. You can definitely change aircraft in flight.

Cavulife Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thanks. I have tried pressing the ESC key but that only returns me to the OPTIONS screen where you can select GENERAL, ASSISTANCE and CONTROLS and if I press the ESC key again then it returns back to the screen displayed before pressing the ESC key for the first time. When you are returned to the OPTIONS screen, move your mouse to the bottom and you’ll see something like “Return to Main Menuâ€. That’s where you want to go. As Hobbit says, you can also turn on Developer Mode and change the aircraft there, but Dev Mode might bring on some other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparnold Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thanks to both of you. I was running in windowed mode and therefore those options mentioned cannot be seen.
