FreeFD ND Keyboard Controls?

I have been playing with FreeFD recently and it is a very impressive piece of FREE software. I was messing around with the ND and I randomly figured out that you can adjust the range with + and -. I saw in one of JBaymore's threads where he had built a panel to control a whole bunch of functions for the ND. I was just wondering if anyone had a list of all the controls and functions that are available for FreeFD, and specifically for the ND. I have searched all over the place, including on this forum, for a list of controls, but haven't been able to find any information.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, in my download, there was nothing but the exe files. No sort of documentation at ALL.

But this is a HUGE help. I had no idea there would be THAT much control to it. Thanks a TON!

Here is the panel that is mounted on the glareshield in my simpit that controls the FreeFD ND display (and a few other parts of the sim):

It is based loosely on a real panel... but with my own unique "twist" on it, stealing from numerous aircraft...... and custom tailored to both FreeFD and the parts I had available.  Pretty simple to interface it....... a Hagstrom KE72 sends the correct keystrokes depending on which switch is flipped/turned/pressed.

best,
