Falcon BMS: Absolute Bare Minimum Key Bindings

[draft] Absolute Bare Minimum Keyfile for Falcon BMS [draft]

A one-page-cheat-sheet for pilots absolutely new to Falcon BMS

The BMS-Minimum.key file contains almost 500 keyboard command bindings -- that's way too much to digest, to get started working through the training missions.

Do you really need to memorize hundreds of keyboard commands, to fly the F-16? No. Taxi, takeoff, basic flight and navigation, comms, landing, even employing basic AA and AG weapons -- it's a lot to learn, but most of what you need can be accessed by clicking buttons and switches in the virtual cockpit, when needed.

Learning what those systems are, and how they work, is hard enough in itself -- you shouldn't have to memorize hundreds of arbitrary keyboard bindings that real pilots don't!
