Manuals @ Keyboard Assignments

Hi Guys

Does anyone know where a can get a manual or List of Keyboard Assignments for MSFS2020, or is it the same as FSX.

and I seem to be having trouble getting my planes out of the hanger after setting options. I just want to do a free flight out of YSSY to learn how to handle this beast.

Thanks for your time

Welcome to the forum(s) Peter. Sadly, there is no manual (a major screwup by MS). The assignments are not the same as FSX. You can find a list of the keyboard assignments here: https://twinfinite.net/2020/08/microsoft-flight-simulator-keyboard-controls-guide/ . Also, there's some helpful stuff here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/c/guides/new-pilot-help-guides/167 ...........Doug

The lack of included manual is a major misstep in a sim aimed at all levels of users. However, there are some third party ones appearing. I've linked one below, however, I haven't bought it so am not sure how good it is.

It is not the same as FSX. Saitek assignments are not the same or complete. It shows a Saitek diagram/picture with numbered functions but the instructions list Alpha Numeric Assignments that you have to figure out which goes or operates where? A number of assignments I had in FSX are presently not available only through the keyboard, makes flying prep and actually flying very cumbersome.

For an intro to MSFS menus and how to map or customize keyboard or yoke/pedals assignments, I highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/squirrel/videos. He provides 5 videos, begin with #1, they are layered in sequence

I wish someone had a tool to convert your customized FSX keyboard and controller assignments to MSFS 2020.

Thanks for the advice.
