Yaw/bank/pitch indicators for angular velocity, angular acceleration and torque.

Left/right scramjet temperature indicators, for: diffuser (Td), combustion chamber (Tc), and exhaust (Te).
`Ctrl` `↑` `↓`

HUD mode selector: Off / Orbit / Surface / Docking.
Keyboard: `H` to switch HUD mode, `Ctrl` `H` to turn on/off.

Propellant status indicators for main tanks and RCS (reaction control system) tanks.

Aerodynamic surface control: off / pitch only / full. Left-click to turn selector left, right-click to turn right.
Keyboard: `Alt` `/`Numpad switches between off and full.

RCS thruster control: off / rotation mode / linear mode. Left-click to turn selector left, right-click to turn right.
Keyboard: `/`Numpad switches between ROT and LIN, `Ctrl` `/`Numpad switches between OFF and ROT.

RCS autonavigation mode selector.
Kill rotation (`5`Numpad): eliminate vessel rotation.
Level horizon (`L`): rotate to pitch=0, bank=0.
Prograde (`[`): align with orbital velocity vector.
Retrograde (`]`): align with negative velocity vector.
Orbit-normal (+) (`;`): align with normal of orbital plane.
Orbit-normal (-) (`'`): align with negative normal.

Propellant status indicator for scramjet fuel tanks.

Artificial horizon: visual pitch and bank indicator.

Main, retro and hover engine status indicator displays. TSFC: thrust-specific fuel consumption (kg/kN/s) - depends on atmospheric pressure. Flow: fuel flow rate (kg/s) for main engines (left and right), retro engines (left and right), and hover engines (front and back).

Scramjet engine status indicator displays. TSFC: thrust-specific fuel consumption (kg/kN/s) - depends on atmospheric pressure, Mach number, throttle level. Flow: fuel flow rate (kg/s) for left and right engine - depends on throttle level, Mach number, atmospheric pressure.

Pitch trim control and indicator (airfoil). Left click in the top half to pitch down (shortcut: `Insert`Cursorpad), or in the bottom half to pitch up (shortcut: `Delete`Cursorpad).
Left MFD (multi-functional display). The MFDs are the primary instruments for monitoring vessel status parameters. Control buttons: PWR - MFD on/off; SEL (`Shift` `F1`): select mode; MNU (`Shift` ```): display button functions. See also MFD documentation.
Right MFD (multi-functional display). The MFDs are the primary instruments for monitoring vessel status parameters. Control buttons: PWR - MFD on/off; SEL (`Shift` `F1`): select mode; MNU (`Shift` ```): display button functions. See also MFD documentation.

AOA (angle of attack) indicator. Displays vertical inclination of vessel axis against airspeed vector.

Slip angle indicator. Displays horizontal inclination of vessel axis against airspeed vector.

Slope and range indicator. Shows the current ascent/descent slope angle and the corresponding range in km.

Main and retro engine throttles. Left/right sliders can be moved individually, or simultaneously by grabbing in the middle. Shortcuts:
`+`Numpad: full main throttle (temporary)
`-`Numpad: full retro throttle (temporary)
`Ctrl``+`Numpad: increase main throttle/decrease retro (permanent)
`Ctrl``-`Numpad: decrease main throttle/increase retro (permanent)
`*`Numpad: kill main and retro engines.

Main engine pitch gimbal controls and indicators. Main engines can be pitched individually or simultaneously by clicking the Up/Down switches (up to +/- 1 degree). Click "Center" to re-center.

Main engine yaw gimbal controls and indicators. Main engines can be pitched individually or simultaneously by clicking the Left/Right switches (up to +/- 7 degrees). The yaw gimbal range is designed so that at max. gimbal, the angular moment induced by a single engine at max. throttle can be compensated. Click "Center" to re-center. Click "Div" for divergent setting, and "Auto" for automatic compensation of angular moment induced by different throttle levels.

Hover balance control and indicator. Manually move thrust balance to front engines (pitch up) or aft engines (pitch down). Use Center button for equal balance.

Scram engine pitch gimbal control (left/right). Manually adjust pitch gimbal thrust vector between 4 and 14 degrees. Use Center button for neutral position (9 degrees).
