Coming from an other simulator? Check [[key commands compared to other simulators]] for an overview of the difference between the key commands of that sim and FlightGear.

To use the mouse to fly the aircraft, press tab (the cursor should change to a cross) and move the mouse to direct the aircraft. Tab again to look around (cursor should show a two sided arrow), and tab again to return to normal mode, used to click stuff in the cockpit. In some aircraft, such as the [[A320neo]] and [[A330-200]]/[[A330-300|300]] this unfortunately will not work, so you will have to use right click to look around and mouse mode is disabled. Fortunately, those planes are airliners, which are really stable and easy to fly with the keyboard.
