Revision as of 14:39, 12 November 2007
As a first step in the keyboard refactoring, we need to come up with a prioritized list of functions that (a) are general enough to apply to most (or at least many) aircraft, and (b) are important enough to justify a keyboard shortcut rather than just a menu/dialog or a model hotspot.
Feel free to add to the list, but please don't delete anything — just move it to the bottom if you don't think it's important.
- Primary flight controls
- ailerons
- elevator
- rudder
- Powerplant
- throttle
- mixture (piston aircraft only)
- propeller (some piston aircraft only)
- carburettor heat (some piston aircraft only)
- View controls
- look left/right, etc.
- zoom in/out
- Secondary flight controls
- flaps extend/retract
- landing gear raise/retract
- elevator trim up/down
- speed brakes/spoilers
- differential toe brakes left/right
- parking brake
- drag chute deploy/jettison
- aileron trim left/right
- rudder trim left/right
- Autopilot
- engage/disengage
- toggle heading mode
- toggle altitude mode
- Weapons
- weapon select
- fire weapon
- Miscellaneous
- hoist deploy (helicopters)
- hoist up/down
- hoist jettison
- water/cargo release
- throw turkey out of window (Les Nessman only)
