And i realize a slight problem, that is i have no idea what the controls are (the version i bought only had the CD, and the only documentation was for installtion info) . If someone would be so kind as to post what all the inflight keyboard commands are I'd be eternally grateful

Thanks in advance

eh dude mine is the whole layout so it's much better visually to interpret. It's a JPEG of the keychart.

Plus the manual is there.

11-0 Red Sox, that says it all..........in Yankee Stadium as well, Roger Clemmens last year, David Wells gone as well probably, Red Sox a game and a half off your ass.........everything's falling apart for your team Cent :wink:

And besides- all my stuff came from that little pamphlet thing that's included in the FA package.

Stick to topic man. We don't want to scare anyone away.

I need help.

The JPEG layout I have is easier for the mind to process because you simply look at the keyboard and then at the JPEG and it's a lot easier than trying to find the keys on the list. My suggestion though is to use both in conjunction to help learn the keys.

Plus, at Centurians site you can also download the complete FA manual in PDF format.

Then you can read the entire manual to figure out how to use default FA.. Then download the 1.02F patch and Then upgrade to FA Futures!
