If you search the file for A, you'll find: The A-key is already bound to another command. So far it's pretty straight forward I think. If you, for example, would like to bind this command to the A key, you'd change the three lines (two actuall) into: Apparently, when you press Ctrl-A, the autopilot altitude setting is (un)locked.

The third line describes what function this block of code has. As you can see in the table, Ctrl-A links to 1 (take the first column of the table). The second line is the human readable version of that. This number is an ASCII code, which you can find in this table. The first line tells FlightGear what key the block applies to. Each key block (a block starts with ) has just three lines that are important for you: This file contains many lines, luckily you can ignore most of them. You can open this file with a proper XML editor (Notepad++ is a good, free one. On Windows, this is usually C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/keyboard.xml or something similar.

Anyhow, here's how to do it.Īll default keys are assigned in $FG_ROOT/keyboard.xml. It does require some work though, so you may wonder if the time is not better spent getting used to our keys. Fortunately this isn't very difficult in principle, as you only need to change some numbers. So you'll have to edit the mentioned XML file by hand. Unlike joysticks, we don't have an user interface for editing keyboard bindings (yet). S159283 wrote:I really hope that there is some possibity of achieving this

I really hope and would greatly appreciate if someone would take the time to show me how I could accomplish this task (if possible at all), so that I can soon experience this amazing simulator to the fullest.Īcer V3-571G Laptop / 4GB RAM / Intel HD Graphics 4000 and GeForce GT630M with 1GB RAM s159283 Posts: 4 Joined: Sat 9:29 am Please bare in mind that I have absolutely no programming skills. I really hope that there is some possibity of achieving this coz before writing here I scoured the internet for any methods of remapping the FG keys and was quite surprised to find nothing on the subject, except for a few complex methods on changing a single key command for a specific aircraft. I know that a learning curve is to be expected until I'm familiar with the FG keyboard control layout, but I think it would be awesome if somehow I can remap the FlightGear control keys with those used in MS Flight Simulator. Well, I've got FG up and running now, however, due to the numerous years of simming with MS Flight Simulator, I end up pressing the MS Flight simulator keys at crucial moments in FG which results in an all mighty crash or a very ugly and ungraceful landing maneuver. Now, seeing how this project and community has evolved, I can't resist but to give FG another shot. I have been flight simming for quite a long time with MSFS and Xplane and few others and couple of years ago I even tried out FG. A filtered list of Microsoft Flight Simulator Shortcuts is listed here.Hi to everyone in the wonderful and amazing FG community. I would filter Microsoft Flight Simulator as a free and open-source alternative to X Plane. X Plane alternatives are mainly flight simulators but there can be simulation games or racing games as its substitute. X Plane is one of the most comprehensive and powerful flight simulators.
