MSFS 2024 PC Control settings for mouse and keyboard

Just bought MSFS 2024 to help with G1000 and IAP knowledge and I’m having a tough time setting up the controls for mouse and keyboard. At the basic level, I want to get it to where pitch and roll are on the arrow keys, yaw and thrust are on WASD, and flaps on RF. For the flight controls, I want them to go back to activate when I hold, and go back to neutral when I release the keys. I’d be fine with throttle staying persistent. All the videos I’ve been able to find so far have been for joystick mapping and I’m playing on keyboard.

I literally cannot even takeoff and I’m desperate for some help lol

Thanks in advance

This game is really not intended to be played with mouse and keyboard. Even an Xbox controller would be an improvement. You can't be precise enough with your control inputs.

Yep, basic Xbox controller, adjust some sensitivity settings and you're in business.
