Best controls for keyboard and mouse?
I'm new to the game and I'm wondering about what's the best controls. The default doesn't seem to be the best but it's ok.

Depends what you're looking for GF (ground forces) or AF

I have for aircraft
W - pitch down
S - pitch up
A - roll left
D - roll right
Q - rudder left
E - rudder right
F - flaps
G - gear
I - engine
L Shift - throttle up
L Ctrl - throttle down
Mouse Scroll - throttle
LMB - Fire
RMB - Zoom
MMB - select target
C - change view
Spacebar - free look
Tab - Scoreboard
Different weapons across 1234

I also have a simple system for manual engine control on the numpad which comes in handy sometimes (infiniWEP with a little radiator).

Tanks basically leave it as it is, C for scope mode, Lshift and Ctrl for cruise control so you can taunt you enemies in chat while on the move.

Mine is somewhat similar- V is change view, C is freelook, space is bombs, 1 is small-caliber guns, and 2 is large caliber guns (both for selective fire on certain planes, particularly the Hs-129 and PBJ-1H)

I also have some macro keys for opening and closing the bay doors, buttons on my mouse for rockets and schrage musik
