There is no easy way to do this, but there is a way. If you have MSFS installed on your main drive, follow these steps to switch to the A key.
- Press ⊞ + R , type
powershell
and press enter. - A blue command prompt will open, paste the following and press enter again:
Set-Variable -Name NGPATH -Value "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\navigraph-ingamepanels-charts\html_ui\InGamePanels\NavigraphPanel\JS\NavigraphPanel.js"; (Get-Content -Path $NGPATH -Raw) -replace '0x4e', '0x41' | Set-Content -Path $NGPATH
The panel should now listen for the A key instead. I realize that this is not a user-friendly option, but like mentioned in the original post keyboard shortcuts for panels is not really supported by the simulator, making this purely a “hack” of sorts.
Hope it helps!
Kind Regards,
