That's the Sidewinder Owner's Manual.
It's a work in progress but it should start you off.

Welcome commander

I recommend you start with the single player missions, read the on screen instructions that tell you how to fly your ship before each mission. Spend some time learning how to control your ship and how to access the menus.

I think the menu system is actually quite intuitive in that it's in plain English (or German) but you'll need to get used to selecting the panels and moving between them (which the single player scenarios teach you to do)

Here's a manual

What are you using? You can pick whatever buttons you want for things in the options.

The basic gist is that you use UI left and right (shift-A and shift-D) to look at the info panels in your cockpit and then WSQE to navigate around them. Takes a little getting used to but it's cool for immersion.
