I select quit mission but spray and pray just loads back automatically after less than one second on the normal map. I’ve tried restarting the game and quitting to the menu. Nothing works.
Weird. ESC does nothing for me during the mission or between failure loops. ALT-F4 is the only way on PC (at least for me) that I can find. No access to options control settings or anything else. Just repeat until you ALT-F4 or succeed.
Weird. I play on PC, and when the mission is ongoing, I can quit. When I'm in the "failed" screen, I have to wait for it to reset, and then I can quit.
It wasn’t intuitive, but I eventually figured out how to exit. It wasnt the escape key, but I don’t remember what I did to actually exit. So I know it is possible but I couldn’t tell you what I did.
If you are on PC you can exit anytime you have control of the plane. Once you crash you have to wait until it restarts and the countdown ends, them press Esc and quit mission.
