The thing is, though, there are so many options, you really have to go into the settings and decide which ones are them most important to you. So for example, because I (weirdly) enjoy engine management, I've spent the last hour fussing over where to put my magneto switches. First time I've done that since FS2004 faded into the background.

I'm actually glad so many of the controls aren't pre-mapped. (I'm also really impressed by the flexibility of the system).

By the way, last night I thought lots of keys and controls weren't working, but now I discover that's because I had "Anthropomorphic controls" on, and this radically slows down your workrate in the cockpit. I've turned it off, at least until I know my way around.

thats the problem though.
The interface for keyboard mapping is damned clunky and shows so little on the screen at once you need to almost have a third party tool to map everything.

Pilots have checklists and take many hours to master the controls. Why do you expect a flight simmer to remember everything.

I think a good basic keyboard layout map would be great. Newbs are scratching their heads when there are so many options and a lot of the basics are not mapped by default.

It's not what's needed by any means but you can get a list of assigned keys from the confUser.ini file, which is in the docs/1c folder.

Cheers.
