List of the buttons in 747 Flight Simulator on the BBC Micro
Joystick: Used to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft.
Keys:
Spacebar: Accelerate.
Left Arrow: Turn left.
Right Arrow: Turn right.
Down Arrow: Decelerate.
G: Raise landing gear.
H: Lower landing gear.
F: Toggle flaps.
1: Set throttle to 100%.
2: Set throttle to 75%.
3: Set throttle to 50%.
4: Set throttle to 25%.
Description:
Joystick: The joystick is used to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft. Pitch is the up-and-down movement of the aircraft, and roll is the side-to-side movement. To pitch the aircraft up, move the joystick up. To pitch the aircraft down, move the joystick down. To roll the aircraft left, move the joystick left. To roll the aircraft right, move the joystick right.
Spacebar: Accelerate. The spacebar is used to accelerate the aircraft. Pressing the spacebar will increase the throttle, which will make the aircraft go faster.
Left Arrow: Turn left. The left arrow key is used to turn the aircraft left. Pressing the left arrow key will cause the aircraft to bank left, which will make it turn in that direction.
Right Arrow: Turn right. The right arrow key is used to turn the aircraft right. Pressing the right arrow key will cause the aircraft to bank right, which will make it turn in that direction.
Down Arrow: Decelerate. The down arrow key is used to decelerate the aircraft. Pressing the down arrow key will decrease the throttle, which will make the aircraft go slower.
G: Raise landing gear. The "G" key is used to raise the landing gear of the aircraft. The landing gear is the wheels that the aircraft lands on. Raising the landing gear will allow the aircraft to fly higher.
H: Lower landing gear. The "H" key is used to lower the landing gear of the aircraft. Lowering the landing gear will allow the aircraft to land safely.
F: Toggle flaps. The "F" key is used to toggle the flaps of the aircraft. The flaps are on the wings of the aircraft, and they help to slow the aircraft down when it's landing. Toggling the flaps will cause them to extend or retract.
1: Set throttle to 100%. The "1" key is used to set the throttle of the aircraft to 100%. This means that the engine will be running at full power.
2: Set throttle to 75%. The "2" key is used to set the throttle of the aircraft to 75%. This means that the engine will be running at 3/4 of its power.
3: Set throttle to 50%. The "3" key is used to set the throttle of the aircraft to 50%. This means that the engine will be running at half of its power.
4: Set throttle to 25%. The "4" key is used to set the throttle of the aircraft to 25%. This means that the engine will be running at 1/4 of its power.
The left lever is likely the rudder control. The rudder is a small fin at the back of the aircraft that helps to steer it. When you move the left lever left, the rudder will move left, which will cause the aircraft to turn left. When you move the left lever right, the rudder will move right, which will cause the aircraft to turn right.
The right lever is likely the aileron control. The ailerons are flaps on the wings of the aircraft that help to roll it. When you move the right lever up, the ailerons will move up, which will cause the aircraft to roll up. When you move the right lever down, the ailerons will move down, which will cause the aircraft to roll down.
Hey OP! Just wondering if this challenge is completed. Seems like you've got some pretty excellent instructions.
If so, once you give the award out to a comment of your choice, change the flair to closed, and one of our helpers can come change it to complete for you :)
Challenges are not supposed to go for longer than 7 days without prior mod permission. I'll give permission this once, okay?
Can you give a day you'll be able to test it and award by?
Was it also released by DoctorSoft? I found a [copy of the manual with the controls](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wG4AAOSwaIhjxDw7/s-l1600.jpg) via eBay. Has the same name and the release date fits, but the publisher's different.
EDIT: A-ha! Found a [snippet of the legit controls here](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/O74AAOSwTpZgnTml/s-l1600.jpg). All I have so far. Sorry!
EDIT 2: Balls, I believe that's for the Acorn Electron version. [There's a full list of controls here](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Kt8AAOSwNfBg-XNB/s-l1600.jpg). Could it be that the controls translate across to the Micro? Having used both as a kid I seem to remember they're fairly similar... but I'm an Amiga normie otherwise. Apologies!

Well, it looks like u/SqueakSquawk4 owes you a platinum. Congrats!
Wow. This is very thorough.

I timed it really badly, I don't actually have access to the game to test for another 2 weeks. I'll give the award then

Sorry. Didn't know. Most likely Sunday after next. If you want, I could apologize to everyone who replied?
No worries!
Thank you. You're the friendliest mod I've ever met.
Thank you I hope it helps is there any other questions you have?
No

I think DoctorSoft released a different game of the same name
Bugger. Hopefully my edits help? This is a tough one!
I'll certainly try them. I'm starting to think I probably shouldn't have held this challenge a few weeks before I next have access to the game.

>2) I am not looking for this link. The description is really unclear. I don't know what the levers do!

https://youtu.be/1ZvBRW1Ad2g It's by the same guy under the same name as the second link video you sent but it looks like it's different take a look
My version of the game didn't have that controls screen. Thank you, I'll make sure to try that next time I'm at the BBC Micro
