I figured out how to get past the pause/break issue. It's not exactly perfect but it works. here are the steps that will GUARANTEE you will unpause and fly. Oh yes!
1. Go to Best Buy (or use google)
2. Buy a Razer gaming keyboard
3. load the software or just plug the key board in to your P.C. (works on desktops and Laptops and yes the new Dell toughbook!)
4. Start your game.
5. Hit the brightly lit pause/break button on the righthand side of the keyboard.
Botta Boom! Botta Bing! Botta Bang! Now your flying!
It's worth the money I spent just to play the game.
remapping the keys doesn't work. I spent a good 24 hours trying all different type of keys.
I'm gonna start dissecting exactly what the ASC II code is for the pause/break key and see where this code command is located. I can't guarantee anything but it is easy to just bu a gaming keyboard with cool glowing lights.
