@Martin_Lee:
Actually not too much has changed in terms of keyboard controls between 4.33 and 4.32. There are some old callbacks removed and some new ones, some default keypress are changed.
There are three sets of throttle control callback:
1. Throttle up/down - This is pretty self-explanatory, throttle level moves up/down when you hold the key. It would not stop at the afterburner detent and the movement is a bit fast.
2. Throttle step up/down - There are some predefined ‘steps’ and each key press will move up/down one step. There are about 4-5 steps (need to verify later) from idle to full-mil, and each afterburner stage has its on steps.
3. Min/Max Afterburner - Self-explanatory again.
Throttle step is my preferred method of flying with just keyboard and mouse. One reason is that the throttle up/down callback moves the throttle too quickly, and the fact that there is no AB detent means I could easily overshoot into afterburner. The second being the steps are pretty well placed, you only need a little bit fine adjustment (a tap on throttle up/down key) and you are good.
When you need to use afterburner, though, step up/down could be a bit too slow since there are quite a few stages of afterburner to go through. In this case I just use max/min afterburner. Quite a lot of times when I need afterburner, I usually need the max setting anyway (eg. dogfight). Min afterburner callback is useful as well because moving one step down would get you full-mil power.
Thanks, I figured out the,step up/step down shortly after…I was trying the “up/down” originally and the key combination wasn’t working the throttle,but rather flipping my screen with the keys (i.e. arrow down flipper the display upside down)
