What on earth does Shift M do in FS9?
I know what it does to my plane and it's not pretty.
But I can't find a description of its function in any list of keyboard commands.
Apparently, the only way to get out of what it does is to hit Shift M again. I had a really exiting ride till I finally figured that one out. But where is a description of what it does?
Thanks
Mike

Unless you assigned "shift+M" to something else, it is the shortkey to turning on/off your master power and alternator/generator.

when you start up your sim, go to SETTINGS on the bottom left pane.. then look for AS*IGNMENTS (or Key As*ignments) and that is where you will find what key combinations do what it is what you what.

The 'bad word filter' in these types of boards can be hilarious (if you're in a good mood when you get bleeped 8O :roll: :lol: ). 'Ass' you can get away with but forget trying to type 'aarrsseennaall'. (I can only allude to the bleeped word by double-typing each letter.)
My funniest one so far was when I got bleeped for typing "it's a 'bbiitt cchhiillyy'".......no way was I going to get away with typing 'bbiittcchh', even when I wasn't trying to say it! :lol:

You also have to becareful with the word "me". If you use it next to the right word, "me" will be "bleep".
