i have been reading at some people are finding the lack of 'active pause' where you can flick switches and play with dials ala F4
first you have to have the FPS counter on 'Pause-RCtrl'
what i do is quickly jam the time compression RIGHT down with Z -LALT...you can make a second stretch to thirty if you tap it enough enough.
then you can play with the avionics at you own pace
once done...hit Z-LShift to bring time back to normal in one hit
