It's the Pause/Break key on my QPAD Mk-85 gaming keyboard as well.

The Pause/Break key is present on pretty much any QWERTY keyboard.
If it's a laptop, the function (Fn) key may have to be pressed first if the text is in blue.

If you cannot seem to find the correct key you can go into the controls settings, find your aicraft on the left dropdown, then use the right dropdown to select' general'. You'll see an option for "Pause" which you can bind to any key you wish.

if Pause/Break button is not working for you just go to adjust controls general and search pause and bind it to a button

Yep, you are correct. And this one is 2022. And the OP, and this message overall, is the first thing that came up when I google searched for this problem. So, thank you to Airviator for resurrecting a thread that is useful.

For those who can't handle resurrected threads........you'll be ok.

As its not been mentioned, when you host a MP server you can hit the advanced button. The settings in the red box change if it starts on load, with clients, or manually...

Manual is good if you have a set piece and want all players ready before it starts. If its a more sandbox/open mission them on load is good so peeps can get ready while they wait :)
