BASIC OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS
“Virtual” operations in the cockpit consist of using the
mouse cursor shaped like a “hand” to push buttons, twist
knobs, move handles, trim wheels, etc. With the use of
optional external peripherals such as avionics panels and/
or power quadrants, the use of the mouse for most cockpit
operations can be avoided. Controls to fl y the aircraft
(yokes or fl ight sticks) are necessary. Rudder pedals are
optional, but are highly recommended for single-engine
operations in the twin-engine aircraft.
KEYBOARD CONTROL
The keyboard is not used to fl y the aircraft, but rather only
to provide shortcut key commands to assist the user in
general operations and map functions. These functions
can be found on the
MAIN MENU dialog box, scrolling
to MAP screen and pressing the “?” at the bottom of the
screen.
