Hi guys,
Going to add Freespace 2 to my GOG collection, but am planning to play it mostly on a laptop without keypad.
So, two questions:
1 ) Anyone got a link to suggested keybindings for a laptop keyboard/mouse setup
And, more difficult!:
2) Anyone got a link to suggested keybindings for a laptop JUST KEYBOARD setup (or at least, a setup that would allow flipping between keyboard and mouse - I always find keyboard more accurate for small adjustments)
All help gratefully recieved!

I've been playing FS2 almost exclusively on a laptop with a Scandinavian keyboard layout. As your keyboard layout may differ, you may need to improvize a bit, but hopefully this will at least get you started. I've changed the following commands from the default ones:
Bank left - Right Ctrl
Bank right - End
Pitch forward - Up arrow
Pitch backward - Down arrow
Turn left - Left arrow
Turn right - Right arrow
Set throttle to max - Left Ctrl
Set throttle to one third - 9
Set throttle to two thirds - 0
Increase throttle 5 percent - 8
Decrease throttle 5 percent - 7
Afterburner - Q
Fire primary weapon - D
Chase view - 6
External view - 5
Cycle radar range - Alt-5
Increase weapon energy - ´
Decrease weapon energy - +
Increase shield energy - ¨
Decrease shield energy - Å
Increase engine energy - '
Decrease engine energy - Ä
Equalise shield - W
Augment forward shield - Delete
Augment rear shield - Home
Augment left shield - Page up
Augment right shield - Page down
Many thanks - that looks great. At least I'll prioritise those key bindings, and swap the others around as need be!
Cheers!
