Thank-you very much for taking the time to proof-read this. It's very much appreciated. I've uploaded an updated version to http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/FGShortRef.pdf > > Program Start: Linux/UNIX via the fgfs under /FlightGear, > > Windows via the FlightGear wizard fgrun.exe under > > /FlightGear/bin/Win32/ > > These path names seem as if "/FlightGear" is a root directory. > I think it might be better to write "FlightGear" and > "FlightGear\bin\Win32", respectively. I've changed this to: "Linux/UNIX via the fgfs under FlightGear/, Mac OS X via FlightGear.app under /Applications/, Windows via the FlightGear wizard fgrun.exe under \Program Files\FlightGear\bin\Win32\" > > Tab. 5: Special action of keys, if autopilot is enabled.

"left side" and "right side" refer to the control on the panel rather than the mouse, so this is accurate. > Meanwhile, to my knowledge of 1.9.1, left button and middle buttons > act as fine and coarse tuning, respectively.
