This graphical keyboard layout (its a PNG file including a json file) based on the german QWERTZ layout provides the most common shortcut keys which are default in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

As i was used to the default MSFS2020 layout (muscle memory), it will help me to switch to the new MSFS2024 layout - why i am switching? As there are new functions and hotkeys.

Notes:

• This keyboard layout is for the most common shortcuts only (note: it may not include all available commands)
• Altough its for the german QWERTZ keyboard layout, it still mentions the english commands, as i am using english within my sim
• If you prefer a full commands list, you can check out Default MSFS 2024 All Keyboard Commands: https://flightsim.to/file/85354/default-msfs-2024-all-keyboard-commands
• No need to drop this in your community folder.
• In the download file, there is a JSON file. With that, customizing the keyboard layout to your preferences via this website: https://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ is possible (go to section "raw data", then click on "upload json file")
