Replace/Change The Word "Pause"

So on live when I am flying and hit the three lines to do what ever it is I have to do. On the live server though you don’t pause I think we should remove it or say something like this isn’t paused.
And ignore my stats as that’s not the focus

Well, I don’t think that this really needs to be removed. But it does confuse a lot of people on their first time flying on live.

This isn’t necessary, and I doubt this will ever happen. The pause menu leads to options such as changing a display name, stats, weight, time, callsign, calibration, and ending the flight, as well as the settings menu that leads to other important options. It wouldn’t be smart to relocate these options. Also, don’t forget to vote for your own request!

No point, more work for the devs, and plus, I think you should have enough hours (if I’m supposed to ignore them) to know that gravity exists, maybe start growing an apple tree and I’ll call you Isaac.

What it the reference and point of this post? In my world, nothing.

It really dose and when you leave your phone like that and you got to do who knows what something bad could happen and I don’t know why it’s paused when it’s still rolling in the background

Yes, but I don’t really think that the devs would remove this. It is a good idea though. I think that after you do it the first time, you don’t normally do it again.

I mean, maybe they could change “Paused” to “Menu”, but they won’t remove the whole thing.

I agree with @KennedyTurner although the background is still running, it isn’t Necessarily paused. “Menu” would be a better and more accurate way of putting it. Although it doesn’t bug me that much. I’m neutral in the end of it. 😉

So, you want to remove our means of calibration, weight and balance, changing the time, and ending the flight? I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

@Altaria55, I believe he’s simply asking for it to not say “PAUSED” on the screen as the game is not truly paused. Please wait for him to respond before jumping to conclusions. Also, he will likely not respond for a little while as he is asleep.

It’s like you didn’t read the post or the comments at all. He clearly says remove the word “paused” and change it to something else. He never once mentioned removing the options.

@N801VP Perhaps change the title to something more apt. People will make assumptions based on the title itself without reading the the post.

P.S. - if it came across as rude or hurt anyone’s sentiments, apologies.

Next time, as @Viren Stated, don’t jump to conclusions without actually reading the posts. And instead of just saying the Negatives, at least say something positive. The smallest thing can make someone day amazing. I’ve seen you do it a lot recently and it isn’t okay.

[spoiler] I am not trying to be rude, just pointing out something I’ve noticed.

Everyone in this thread needs to chill out… I agree with this because it can confuse new users to live thinking that their plane is paused when it is actually not.
Also, if you don’t agree, take into consideration that this is a suggestion, and you should respect that people can make them if they want to. So whats with the aggression?
Also look at what @anon41771314 wrote as well

If you’re flying on the live servers it won’t pause the game, but if you’re flying on solo it does indeed pause the game. Why doesn’t it pause it on live? So you don’t experience connection issues and loose progress. Why does it pause you on solo? Because you don’t need the connection to the live servers and you aren’t gaining progress on solo so it’s less risky.

Easy fix would be to remove the word pause altogether in Live. Keeps the menu, less confusion and requires little development time.

How about we just leave the word it’s just a small thing

Yes it’s small but it’s a small thing that can be changed to make a big difference for user experience… You don’t want new users quitting because they crashed even though they thought it was “paused”
