Here are the pictures of the real aircraft controls gathered for reference. For more detailed information see associated subchapters of 2. Cockpit Overview by using the respective hyperlinks.

Direct binds to control Jester and Crew Chief commands are provided especially for mission designers or users of voice recognition software, such as VoiceAttack.

The (3-way up)-bind is intended to be used with actual 3-way hardware switches, such as present on many external devices. They send a signal on either position (up and down), but no signal on the center position. Hence, the bind will return the switch back to the center when no signal is send.

For the WSO it is optional to bind flight controls such as the flight stick. Controls should be focused at operating the Radar and the Pave Spike targeting pod.

When just getting started, a common question is which fundamental controls one should generally bind and have accessible without using the mouse, besides the obvious binds of throttle and stick axis.

Available control binds for the Phantom are exhaustive. For any switch, knob or button, you can choose between direct position-binds, increment or decrement binds, a toggle or next option, special binds for 2-way or 3-way switches and assignable axis.

All binds are generally assigned at least two searchable categories, the system the bind belongs to and its location in the cockpit. The Master Arm switch for example has categories:

Additionally to regular binds, special [SimPit]-binds are provided that allow controlling any switch or knob via an axis input.

[Next] is similar, but will not stop at the last position and wrap over to the first position again. Likewise, 2-way switches provide a [Toggle] bind that flips the switch between either position.

For example, a switch with 2 positions ON and OFF can be controlled with an axis, while the switch changes its position as soon as the axis is pushed beyond its center position.

💡 The (3-way down)-bind is skipped for the Speed Brake, since it would be identical with the spring-loaded Out (Hold)-bind.

This is especially useful for builders of cockpit replicas, working mainly with hardware switches whose electronic components send normalized inputs through the entire movement range.

Binds [Aft] and [Forward] are directional binds that move the switch from the current position into the given direction.
