The pinned topics "Welcome to AFS" and "Getting Started" would be a good bet. :D

hi walmer, glad you decided to go through afs! I've seen you play a bunch in the past couple of days and seen you progress from Walmer(1) to Walmer(2) to Walmer(3) and Walmer(4) at last count!

I was really joking the other day, when I was saying that you were our best pilot... I just wanted to send you headfirst into an unexplored sector to use you as bait. (hey it might be proxed and getting proxed through an aleph like that is an enriching and rewarding experience for all newbies and vets alike.)

Don't worry about piloting too much for now. Actually a good portion of this game has little to do with piloting skills... it won't do you much good to be the best ace pilot of all alleg if you dont know how to be at the right place at the right time!

Here in AFS, we'll go through some basics with you, make sure all your keys are mapped correctly (find me in game if you want to copy my particular settings... i have them posted online). And if you continue to CDT, you'll get to learn more about what it takes to be a productive pilot. You'll get a good idea of what to do by just playing and having fun... but we're here to speed things up for you.

see you in game!

If you do download fwiffo's keybindings, you need to copy over to your Allegiance/artwork folder where it'll over-write the one already there.

like freebeer said, just right click and save as, then replace your inputmap1.mdl file in your Artwork folder where you installed allegiance. (probably c:\program files\microsoft games\allegiance\artwork)
