RETURN rides the top rail — and a BACK TO MISSION button for the main menu f5cba37

FEATUREUX The missions board scrolled deep with RETURN TO MAIN MENU still pinned at the top of the list, a live sortie on the catapult behind the menu

Menu navigation should never be a scrollathon. Three courtesies, all about never being stranded:

  1. RETURN TO MAIN MENU is pinned at the top of every sub-menu. The campaign board, the flight school syllabus, the pilot log — the button now leads the list and it is sticky: sixteen mission rows can scroll under it and the way home never leaves the glass. The bottom ESC row stays too, and ESC still steps back one menu.
  2. BACK TO MISSION on the main menu. Bail out of a briefing with ESC — easy to do when the teletype is running — and the main menu now offers one button (or the M key) straight back to that brief, mission title chalked on the tag. Launching the sortie retires the button; quitting mid-flight still gets RESUME FLIGHT instead.
  3. Consistent everywhere. Same button, same position, same key — school, campaign and log behave identically, so the map in your head is the map on the screen.
