3. Key Bindings

In the basic course, only a few keys are required from the take-off procedure to the landing.
Generally, you should keep the standard keyboard assignment and expand it with unassigned functions according to your own wishes.

You can of course change the settings according to your needs, but then you must know them during the mission.

A key combination is shown in this course as follows:

  • A standard key combination is represented like this: RShift + K
  • Sometimes it is necessary to set up additional key combinations. These are then displayed like this: L

The following keyboard layout is necessary:

There are many more keyboard commands, but you can also operate all switches in the cockpit with the mouse. So this should be enough for this basic course.

Of course, it is good to put as many of these commands as possible on joystick buttons.
