Pitty, Man with dish pan hands :P hehehe.
You can bring up the Keylist from the Help menu in flight but:

F5 Completely up
F6 Up 1 level (this depends on the aircraft)
F7 Down 1 level (this depends on the aircraft)
F8 Full down

Same with throttle:

F1 Idle
F2 Reduce in Increments (and hold for reverse thrust when landed/braking)
F3 Increase in Increments
F4 Full Power

It was just funny at the time as I could hear his speakers cranking from the kitchen and he had the lear jet crusing down the middle of the south island for about 20 minutes before the crash (including going outside for a smoke) then after all that time I hear that massively loud buzzer going off and Matt scrambling for keys trying to figure out what he had pushed.

How well down does the game scale down?
Could I run it ok my AXP 3200+ / 1GB / 6600GT ?
(obviously with low-renter graphics if anything)
I had a look at the requirements on the box but years of reading those told me MS are one of the worst as far as system requirements go... I mean common whos going to run vista with 512MB of ram... let alone try to run that game on it.

With the GFX at it's lowest setting more kinda like FS9.
Even with a 6600GT you will be able to have a few of the advanced features on, and will still look rather stunning.

Nope - yours is an A64! And the X800's are quite a bit more powerful than the 6600GT's!
Oh well might just grab it anyway and see how it goes.
