* DamnYouMuscleMemory: The controls in ''F-15 Strike Eagle II'' were mnemonic, which can confuse someone coming in from another MicroProse title (where most of the operating keys were on the Function or Numeric keys).

Scratching a trope (unless I can name another sim that has color-coded locks on the HUD, that probably doesn\'t count).


* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: A standard trope in most flight sims (on the radar [=MFD=]), but unlike later flight sims, the missile shoot cue on the [=HUD=] actually changed color when you were in the most error-free position to fire a missile.
