whoa, I didn't even realize that the 'x' key did anything for starfighters

Let's see if I remember them all.

X key:
- Switch between dropping bombs downwards and firing them forwards in the TIE Bomber in Escape from Hoth.
- Rotate B-Wing's fuselage while keeping cockpit level (essentially means you roll the bomber's body around its gyro-stabilized cockpit. I suck at explaining it, just try it in-game by holding the key and watching your bomber in external view).

F key:
- Switch between torpedoes and ion cannons as B-Wing's secondary fire weapon. As I said in the article, if you fire laser and ion cannons together in a head-to-head fight, I have a feeling you'll do quite a bit of damage.

Shift key boosts all Rebel fighters but the B-Wing bomber.

Any others?

not 100% correct: in Escape from Hoth, the TIE Bomber's Rockets/Bombs get also switched by the F-key!
and the y-wing gunner can switch with the F key between Laser and light Ion fire

And the F key has the function of switching the Y-Wings gunner seat to different projectiles (laser bolts and Ion cannons, though I'm betting they'll have torpedos for the SD battle)

I already noted that about the y-wing, but good point about the Tie bomber, as thats not in the manual AFAIK

sticky please?

It's featured in the Wiki under 'User Guides', together with a couple of other useful articles. Far better to have a sticky directing people there.

Re: Rookie's Guide to Starfighters

X is counter measures and F is switch weapons. v2142 doesn't use the F key though.
