DIY Keyboard Modification v2.0: Orbiter 2010

This is an easy modification to a standard USB keyboard and keypad. It labels and relocates the commands in Orbiter 2010 in an organized way. For example the throttle buttons are grouped together as are the autopilot buttons and the view buttons, etc. 

You no longer have to memorize keyboard assignments or reference a keyboard map. Flying in space just got way more awesome!
 
* Easy construction - no wiring, no soldering
* Build with inexpensive materials
* Use this flight sim keyboard in addition to your regular keyboard
* The instructions and print-out label sheet are in Adobe pdf format

Also included is a new keyboard configuration file for your Orbiter folder. The new configuration file makes the new keyboard assignments work. It is highly recommended that you back up your existing keymap.cfg file.

The arrow pointing towards your screen is literally forward, as if your desk was a vehicle. But you can assign that button to be up. You have your choice depending on how you want it.
