Yep, everything still "roughly" works like they used to, but more detail is added where possible. With a fully-working 3D pit, it's easier to work the Viper now. All you really need should be mapped to your HOTAS, everything else is just a mouse-click away. For instance, there is no need to memorize what the key combination is for Master Arm or Master Safe or Laser Arm. If you know where the switch is, click, done! Same for MFD modes.
