the two keys between 0 and "backspace" control the rotor power.
(hold shift for faster rotor power increase/decline)

F10 ... open map
-> F ... assign waypoints in map, confirm with <enter>

-> <space> ... toggle map zoom
F1 ... exit map and cockpit view

backspace ... cycle targets
space ... cycle weapon hardpoints
1,2,4 ... salvo mode x1, x2 and x4 for hydra missiles
enter ... fire current weapon.
n ... engage radar jammer to make it harder for radar guided to lock you on.
m ... once it fails, drop chaff to confuse radar missiles, and make a hard turn!
. ... engage IR jammer same as above

(the jammers generally work good, but also alert farther enemies to your presence)
Good luck, warrant officer candidates!
