While we are are it, do we already have consensus on which keys to use for these functions - are the keys consistent across different aircraft and FDM's ?
The keys do seem to be standard, j/k for spoilers and Ctrl-B for speedbrake, the issue of course is guessing for a given model which surfaces are assigned to which name. I guess 'things on the wings' are spoilers, and 'things not on the wings' are speed-brakes?
Except that the TSR2's brakes are on the spoiler key. The Fokker uses the spoiler key for the wing spoilers, and Ctrl-B for the tail-brake thing, which seems sensible to me.
BTW, there is no keybinding for reverse thrust : I'm going to test with some nasal code i found in one of the joystick files, but is there a free key I should use? Ctrl-R perhaps?
Here's the snippet I found (in Top-Gun-Afterburner.xml):
reverser = !getprop("/controls/engines/engine[0]/reverser");
props.setAll("/controls/engines/engine", "reverser", reverser);
if (reverser) {
gui.popupTip("Thrust Reverser ON");
} else {
gui.popupTip("Thrust Reverser OFF");
