there is a keyboard map out there someplace.. but I aint sure where, I' gonna scan mine and post it on my site later on cause this comes up alot.. but here's some useful keys...

F - Flaps (Shift F to return them)
G - Gear up/down
B - Brake (hold on)
Shift B - lock brakes on
A - Arm bombs and rockets
D - open bomb bay
P - Auto Pilot toggle
Return - release selected pylon weapon (boms/rockets)
Space - Fire selcted guns/cannons

H - HUD
Alt P - Frame rate
Alt I - Identity (shows all players kill score when online)
Alt W - weapons loadout/ammo
Alt O - show mission obbjectives
Ctrl J (possibly E) - Eject


1 - MG
2 - Cannon
3 - All guns/cannon
4 - select rockets
5 - select bombs
6 - select bombs in bomb bay
8/9 - Single fire/ripple fire mode on/off for rockets (deosn't work with all rocket types)
¬ - Talk (used only online)

Wingman commands (only when you're squd. leader)
L, k, j, and I think H - can't remember exactly which does what, but press them in a mission and you'll hear it.

There's bound to be stuff I've missed, but this is the main stuff.. oh yeah..

< - rudder left (tap key)
> - rudder right ---"---"---
? - centre rudder

left arrow - trim left
fight arrow - trim right
up arrow - trim up
down arrow - trim down

Num Pad keys are for snap views.. hold one/two down for different views around the cockpit

F2 - extrnal view Pan mode
F3 - chase Cam
F4 - bomb/rocket cam pan mode

Hit the function key again to exit that mode.

F5 next vehicle/aircraft view
F6 take control of vehicle
Shift F6 give control to AI
F7 change to next position in your aircraft
Shit F7 to go back through the positions
F8 airfield tower view

oh.. some more... if these keys are activated (they are new addon keystrokes}

Q - open canopy
W - Fold wings or sweep wings

OK, now I really think thats all I can think of.. LOL

This has gotta help

Okay, call me dumb but I can get the engine on, and the gear to drop but how do I get the throttle up, so that I can move the plane. I appreciate all your help and those directions are good. My big problem is that I don't know which of those keys move the aircraft. Sense this is a Simulation and not just a plain ole video game this is beyond my realm of knowlege. Continued help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. SADAVIS6268@earthlink.net

Hey no problem ask away, as much and as often as you please, we're all here to help and you'll get all the help we can give..

OK, looking for my keyboard card for the throttle keys.. lol I didn't think that you might not have a throttle on the joystick (duh!)
and I see I forgot to list the keys to start them...

OK here goes..
E - toggle all engines on/off
+ (held down) - Throttle up
- (held down) - throttle down
somthing else...
[ - zoom in (hold key down)
] - zoom out (hold key down)
T - select target
alt M - radar map
M - map view (hold down)
shift M - zoom map view (hold down)

thought I'd missed some

glad to help though, really.. this Q gets asked alot and it'll be good to have this posted on the board so ppl can search for it in the future

not wanting to sound concieted or nothing... you can come have some fun with us online, but it would be more fun for you if you can get a stick with atleast a throttle on it, things are a little more hectic online with the guys and with the AI They are real cheap now anyway and worth getting

Glad I could help anyway

Rgr Eeyore, you can get a four button stick with a throttle wheel, a Gravis Blackhawk, for about $19.99 U.S.

Having quick control of the throttle helps with these birds.

Welcome aboard.
