Very nice, I actually learned a couple of things!
For some reason if you download the text version from scribd it has loads of spelling mistakes such as 'frst' instead of 'first'. Weird. PDF is fine.

ok, will fix it
actually i found 5 canons, fixed now but upload new version later
the scribd transforms my pdf into preview pictures (those you see on the web and they are lower quality) and when you try to save as txt it converts from something, while it should save directly from pdf but if there are 'frst' and such mistakes then more likely it converts to txt from images
anyway use pdf for best experience.

And which buttons are the default ones? There are presets for all popular devices: KB only, KB/M, X52, X52Pro, X55, Warthog, HOTAS X, Black Widow, Generic Joystick, Controller pad, Controller pad with yaw. Each of them might be considered as the default one.
I cannot see any mistakes because:
- it is unofficial manual;
- this manual is done by OP out of passion towards the game;
- OP has shared this manual absolutely free of charge;
- OP has spent his free time to create it;
- OP is using HOTAS+rudder pedals+TrackIR;
- most of the users modify existing controls so that they would suit them better.
i am planing to include default layout for different input devices as a pictures so anyone just can print out, but i want FD to finalize those layouts (late beta or early gamma).
also as Aleksej pointed out - if i am to include "default" buttons then which ones from 4 main setups - 360 gamepad, kb&m, x52, x55...? all of them? it will only confuse - so i just name the functions and if they are somewhere hidden in user interface i point to them by full path
i am pretty sure 90% of pilot's are flying with custom bindings so default controls are not so default, but i did expect this issue to rise and just have no such solution that it will suit all input device users
when i play simulator games i always keep a paper or picture in front of me with all commands and functions written down depending on what device i use, so i suggest you do same and there will be no need to switch between anything - in time you will know what you need to know without looking at diagram anyway

if i do that then i cannot keep the same download/view link and anyone who shared links will have to "re"share them with each update, in other words it will be a mess
the version number is on page 2 big enough or anyone to see (scribd) and mediafire has "file size" and "uploaded" fields right right below the file name, those indications should be more than enough.
ah yes. good point. keep it like it is thenif i do that then i cannot keep the same download/view link and anyone who shared links will have to "re"share them with each update, in other words it will be a mess
