Thanks for the quick reply, John! I will dig (again) into the (advanced) guides...

I am terribly sorry because I am sure the information is available somewhere but after searching the internet, various forums and even this site I still am totally and utterly lost... All that I want to do is to assign a few 'non standard switch bindings' to keys on my QWERTY keyboard. That term 'non standard switch bindings' comes from the FlightFSX SF50 manual. It for instance shows this: Checklists Scroll Up : H:checklist_scroll_up Scroll Down : H:checklist_scroll_down Select : H:checklist_checklist_select The SF50 has a knob/wheel to control the checklists with. I want to assign regular keys to those options. As I've said I read various topics and tutorials and what not but everytime they lose me in the first sentence already... In the end I found out that FSUIPC apparently has an option called 'add lvars to offsets' which should be simple to use but the explanation I can found about it (on this forum) has the main link not working. Long story short: where do you begin with all this if you never ever have used FSUIPC (or Spadnext or Ah and Oh's or whatever)? As said I want to use my regular keyboard for the xtra controls, not some fancy hardware I can't afford. (Most tutorials are about expensive hardware, so it seems.) I need a 'complete idiot's guide' but I can't even find THAT...!
