Flying with keyboard

Its fun flying FMS, but using it with a keyboard has its limitations. Its difficult to adjust the throttle and rudder, its either on or off. Can that be fixed?

Use Throttle More (G) and Throttle Less (B) instead of Open (V) /Close (H).

I´m using G and can easily start with one stroke. For a more realistic experience it would be nice to have a throttle with many more steps to control landings, starts and low flying.

Since no-one really flies models from a keyboard you'd be much better using a proper controller. Even a PC joystick is much better than the keyboard.

BTW the FMS software hasn't been updated for about 6-7 years IIRC so it's not likely to be changed now.
