@MonmineDCS Rudel_chw is correct that there is no direct keyboard support for direct control

You might be able to use indirect control via keyboard commands for trim controls for more limited movement until you can obtain a controller.

From the mod's Input\keyboard\default.lua:

--- Control ---
{combos = {{key = '.', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}},    pressed = iCommandPlaneTrimUp,            up = iCommandPlaneTrimStop, name = _('Trim: Nose Up'),            category = _('Flight Control')},
{combos = {{key = ';', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}},    pressed = iCommandPlaneTrimDown,        up = iCommandPlaneTrimStop, name = _('Trim: Nose Down'),        category = _('Flight Control')},
{combos = {{key = ',', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}},    pressed = iCommandPlaneTrimLeft,        up = iCommandPlaneTrimStop, name = _('Trim: Left Wing Down'),    category = _('Flight Control')},
{combos = {{key = '/', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}},    pressed = iCommandPlaneTrimRight,        up = iCommandPlaneTrimStop, name = _('Trim: Right Wing Down'),    category = _('Flight Control')},

{combos = {{key = 'Z'}}, pressed = EFM_commands.KeyRudderLeft,        up = EFM_commands.KeyRudderStop, name = _('Aircraft Yaw Left'),    category = _('Flight Control')},
{combos = {{key = 'X'}}, pressed = EFM_commands.KeyRudderRight,        up = EFM_commands.KeyRudderStop, name = _('Aircraft Yaw Right'),    category = _('Flight Control')},

{combos = {{key = 'Num+'}}, pressed = EFM_commands.ThrottleIncrease,                name = _('Throttle Smoothly - Increase'),        category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('Flight Control')}},
{combos = {{key = 'Num-'}}, pressed = EFM_commands.ThrottleDecrease,                name = _('Throttle Smoothly - Decrease'),        category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('Flight Control')}},

 

The ones with RCtrl are combos with right ctrl key.

The throttle may be the + and - on the number pad.

 

I had no idea that the ED programmers could work magic. It also seems that no one here is aware that the standard keyboard command "RCtrl" for trimming doesn't work at all with ";". It simply doesn't work.

Do we have any sort of timeline or idea at all when V1.2 might come out? This is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite aircraft in DCS!

nice video, but I believe it would have been better to wait for the upcoming v1.2 before producing it.

I'm quite confident CommandT is going to make at least another video when v1.2 drops .

Well I am certainly happy to make an update video on the new version when it comes. I asked above regarding a timeframe for v1.2 release and heard no response so didn't see any point in putting off making a video about the current version since I don't know if we need to wait 2 weeks or 2 years.

Eagerly looking forward to v1.2
