Shortcut Keys & Other Secrets
The main screen has several shortcut keys. An item on the menubar can be selected by holding
down the Alt key and pressing the underlined letter. In addition, you can access the Multi menubar selection by clicking on the raised Motor Configuration panel. A database button can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the capital letter or s for planes. When the focus is in a text box, the + and - keys increment and decrement the value.
Entering data into AMPS will cause the Diameter , Pitch , and Gearing text boxes to "light up." Double-clicking on one of these will calculate the
value needed to produce the current you entered. Simarly, entering data into Wing Load will cause the Plane Wt. and Wing Area to "light up." Double-clicking one of these will cause it to be recalculated.
Holding down the right mouse button on a database button "lights up" the text
boxes stored in that database. For Planes, the other databases are lit in
different colors.
