March 28, 20251 yr As we all know you have to use SHIFT-C to get in (and out) of the cockpit at the start of the flight. Now SU2 beta offers a new option to skip the pref-flight part (remove chocks and covers etc.): you can assign a key to QUICK PREFLIGHT. So get into the cockpit ASAP (a lot of people hate it that you can start in the cockpit right away) you need to press the newly assigned key and then SHIFT-C . Nice improvement. Great! But... this can be done even quicker...! Tip of the day: assign SHIFT-C also to QUICK PREFLIGHT! (If you use another key to get into the plane then assign that same key to this new function. Duh.) So: you start a flight, click on Ready to fly and then simply hit SHIFT-C to 1. remove all chocks etc. and 2. get into the cockpit in one go! Just tested it a few times and it works like a charm. Note that the QUICK PREFLIGHT option only does its thing at the very start of the flight: pressing it again (and again) won't do anything anymore. It's not a toggle or something. So after skipping these (according to some) unwanted and unneeded steps you still can use SHIFT-C all the time to get in and out of the plane. No problem at all. Edited March 28, 20251 yr by mistolip
March 28, 20251 yr I wish they would just make it a menu option. Now I have to load the sim, click ready to fly, and now I have to assign a bunch of key bindings to do what every other sim was able to accomplish. Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight
March 28, 20251 yr I take my hat off to all Asobo programmers/designers, but man, there are cases that I don't know what are drinking or smoking, this is one of those cases, I mean, why isn't there a menu option for such a simple action, it just is beyond me. I would make more sense to make it mandatory within career mode, but not in free flight.

March 28, 20251 yr Have they also sneakily added a way to hide the info on screen when on foot?

March 28, 20251 yr Now if we could just get a quick way to skip the dumb 'accessibility' option on startup that I'm sure all of 0.000000001% of the user base ever actually uses...maybe by SU18 or so.
March 28, 20251 yr On a related note: when it launches to the walk around, I use the direction keys to move but mouse to look. The problem is my mouse isn't smooth moving at all. I've blown off the red light w/ dust off in case anything there might impact. So the net result is very poor panning while moving. Mouse motion in cockpit seems fine FWIW. Also, might there be keys assigned to change look while moving that I missed? I actually bought the Walk Around manager a few days after installing so rarely walk around anyway but I would like to if the animation was very smooth, like it might be in a First Person Shooter game or other.
