Status: offline 		I just got this game, and am playing it on a laptop. It has taken me a while to get my head around how to play it. Now, I am finding myself more and more interested. I am finding that the controls are really interfering with playability. I find that clicking to close the windows really irritating, especially if using a trackpad. The same can be said about having to use the menus to access the functions.

Please make many, many more hotkeys. If possible, please let the user be able to change the hotkeys. I can see how playing style can get quite individualized in this game.

I am working on using my iPad to control things using macros (TouchControl app). It really speeds up gameplay. I think that using more hotkeys would be even better.

Thanks for the game, but please make it easier to play.

If you have brought up one of the secondary windows that corresponds to a function key (e.g. F2 for throttle/altitude), you can close the window by pressing the function key again.

I noticed that, but it doesn't work with all of them.

Most notably, the information about the various units (airplanes, etc). I'll keep you posted about other ones as well.
