Title: A very Basic Keyboard Visual for the new guys
Post by: Ciaphas on February 24, 2009, 11:19:05 PM
This is not intended to be a complete listing of keyboard commands. These are the basic commands that you will need to memorize if you want to get off the ground, fire your guns, chat with fellow squadies or countrymen and land after a sortie......

Nice.  That should help a lot of n00bs.  Good idea.

I thought it looked good too, but the throttle up and down are reversed.

The = button is throttle up
and
The - is throttle down

shift+[=] is full throttle
shift+[-} is zero throttle


good job  :aok

dkff49- good eyes. I swapped the increase/decrease descriptions. I left out the shift (-) and shift (=) so the newer sticks had a basic key set to memorize. I will probably create a few more of these showing the more advanced key sets that they will eventually need.

Cheers,
Dave

You know that would be really sweet if it could be reformated to be 512x512 bmp file so it would show up in the clipboard maps. Then if we could get it released with the next patch, so all the new players would have it available. We'd just have to explain to them how to pull it up.

I have some editing to do to this today. When I get it fixed I will email Skuzzy and see what he wants to do with it... I'm glad and hope that this will catch on and be a new theme of people helping people.

Just a thought for the clipboard thing...

1 image weapon keys
1 image flight keys
1 image view controls
and so on

would be easier to make them 512x512

<S> just a thought

Ok, guys I just finished the 4 512x512 images. I am packaging them up and emailing the to skuzzy. I save all of my .PSD files so if someone would like a copy of it to build there own references or to create something for the community please ask me and I will post it here. Below are the new reference images! Let me know about any problems that these images have.
