What are the absolute essential controls in this game?

What are the absolute essential controls in this game? Obviously the weapons buttons, flight controls, trim, prop mixture, oil and water radiators, flaps, gear, camera pan etc.

What are some more essential or at least highly useful controls that you NEED mapped to something easily at hand?

I think you've covered them.

I also have landing lights, cockpit open, time acceleration bound but they're not essential.

cockpit view instead of 3rd view is essential.
There is no crosshair in 3rd and the situal awarenesss is much better

don't forget to roll the plane upside down before pressing it if you can

I find in an external view and set it to rear using mouse as well as an interlan view. That way I can check is someone is on my tail.

Set zoom in view for cockpit to the rotary thumb wheel on the HOTAS..

If you still have room add a binding for bomb view (F6?).

I just set this up on my Saitek X45 on one of the rotary dials, however I can't get the zoom view to work in-game. It works fine when I'm in the curve testing thing (to the right of the mapped key), but does nothing in-game. Works fine in DCS. I have a Trackhat (TrackIR) if that matters.

I had that problem when i had it bound in the 'Camera' section instead of 'Pilot Head', maybe doublecheck that.

[Randy Lahey]

I was just thinking of that too. I do have it bound in camera, thanks, I'll try it.
