	Most of the '''CSM Panel Controls and Displays''' are simulated as completely authentic, almost photo realistic 2D panels. Many of the controls and displays are not only "switchable" but are really doing what the original switches did. So you can operate the spacecraft as the real astronauts did.

			The numerous panels of the real CSM are distributed over several Orbiter panels. To navigate between these panels, the <CTRL> <UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT> key combination is used as in any other Orbiter spacecraft and as explained in the Orbiter manual. The navigation between the panels is shown in the diagram to the right.

			The CSM panels have a few hundred controls and displays. In the past we tried to provide reference documentation of each single switch and each gauge. The latest version of the [[CSM_panel_reference\|old CSM panel reference]] demonstrates this approach. But the more the panels get realistic it turned out in just copying the original NASA documentation, mainly of the Apollo Operations Handbook<cite>AOH</cite> controls & displays section, so we suggest to use the original documentation directly for reference purpose.

Of course a comprehensive guide of all the switches including in depth explanations and screenshots would be great, but because of the tremendous work to do and maintain such a documentation something like this is not available yet.
