Title: Engine and steering controls
Post by: Toyguy on September 19, 2010, 20:21:32

So how do I arrange to have control of both engine controls simultaneously, so I can keep them matched when I want to?  The docs imply clicking the space between the two individual control handles, but that doesn't seem to work.  Same question applies to the engine controls with the directional dials.

Thanks!

Hi toyguy, you can assign keys to controls..
For instance, you can assign arrow up/arrow down to Engine 1&2 up and down.. :)

I then set N,B to the rudder reset and engine reset...

Gotcha, thanks guys.  Arrow keys work great and I'll look into what other mapping I might use.
