You have two options: you may download the PDF document or simply view the commands in the tables below.

the question I recently had a problem with x plane 11 it's back up and running but there are no laminar MD-82 keyboard commands when I had them before any suggestions?

Hi...With a multi-screen setup, some of the control knobs/buttons are not aligned with the mouse curser depending on the saved view. EG rotating the altitude knob often adjusts the vertical speed instead. I have assigned keyboard buttons to speed, heading, and altitude which work well except the altitude, unlike the other 2 that one does not scroll quickly when the keyboard button is held down. To adjust altitude you have to press the button multiple times making it go up in 100 feet segments. Any ideas on how I can get a fast keyboard altitude adjustment?

Chris Williams. You can not take off using your keyboard. you have to use the yoke. with your mouse click and hold on the yoke. This will let you fly.
