This short reference guide provides instructions for basic flight controls, instrument panel displays and controls, engine controls, and mouse functions for the ProFlightSimulator. It includes starting the engines, using the keyboard for flight controls like throttle, aileron and elevator, as well as displays, autopilot, brakes, gear, and other functions. Mouse controls allow adjusting instrument panels, flight control via mouse in coordination mode, and changing the view direction.
