When I redo the autopilot code (might start next week) it might be appropriate to revist the bindings anyway. We don't have an "engage" function either, and that is pretty basic to how an autopilot is supposed to work. It'll be configurable per aircraft according to what the desired capabilities are (as well as other parameters such as the ones that exist now). > I'm using "g" for gear up and "G" for gear down.

Just the other day I was thinking the same thing after making a beautiful approach and landing (not a common occurance with this pilot) in the DC3 only to be stopped dead in my tracks because the gear was up when I thought it was down. On occaision when not paying attention the "g" will get hit twice. > 3. Maybe the DC3's tail wheel lock should be mapped to "l" and "L" in > this way, too? Maybe for keyboard users we need to have a set of keys that are reserved for aircraft specific applications and not necessarily matched up with the first letter of the desired function.
