My newbie mistakes (or things to avoid)

[gospel]

I need to put a sign above my monitor that says:

"Warning! Talking (typing) while flying can be dangerous."


More that once I've been typing away, hit enter once, twice, a third time, Then wonder, Why am I in my chute?  Where did my plane go?? :0 .

I should probably remap the eject key to something other than enter   .

As embarrassing as this is... Even yet another to add to my blunders...

Managed to get a Lancaster up above most of the fighters for a bombing run... here I go... uh oh... fighters coming in... only going to have one shot at this... perfectly lined up... VH... then one ack... OK... drop!!! DROP!!! ARGH!!! Forgot to open the bomb bay doors! Open doors... %4!T too late. Close doors. Fight off that fighter! Good! He's going down in flames! OK... 'nother pass.... line up... check for fighters... here's the hanger... drop! DROP!!! ARGH! Doors closed again!!!
