X-Plane 11/10 Controls/Keyboard Commands
Complete keyboard command reference for flight controls, engines, starters, radios, instruments, operations, and view management, compiled in an easy-to-scan format for X-Plane 11. Covers essentials like trim, flaps, gear, brakes, camera quick looks, and time controls, with a reminder about Num Lock and the option to customize bindings in settings.
X-Plane 11 X-Plane 10
These are the complete keyboard commands originally for X-Plane 10. They should also work with X-Plane 11 as the majority of the commands have remained the same.
You have two options: you may download the PDF document or simply view the commands in the tables below.
The controls below are extensive and should cover all aspects of using X-Plane 11 and 10. You may also change the commands manually in the X-Plane settings menu.
If you like this resource, we'd love it if you would post in the comments section below. Also, if any of the commands don't work or any are missing, please do let us know in the comments section below.

Maybe I finally found what I was looking for, i.e., the keyboard commands for X-Plane.
-
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.

Hi I just downloaded the x plane 11 with the new PC and all requirements but when I like to do the push back I Can’t do it could you help me with a short cut in the keyboard or in the game
Thanks for your help ASAAD ALGHAMDI Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Jeddah 00966500889957

Using the X-Plane G1000 in the Skyhawk is very awkward, using the mouse to carefully place the cursor next to either the inner or outer rings of the knobs, or at their center. Much, much harder and more time-consuming than flying an actual G1000 in an airplane.
Are there keyboard or gaming mouse commands or shortcuts?
