Good morning - just wondering if there is a need to turn off (de-configure) MSFS key bindings that may conflict with PF3 default hot keys - thoughts? User manual doesn't talk about it so I assume I do not.

Yes you certainly do otherwise you will end up with all sorts of issue. You can't have any two programs sharing the same hotkey sequence. Fortunately it's a fairly straight forward process in MSFS because you can simply 'Search by Input'. So with a list of PF3 Hotkeys in front of you just enter each one and see if MSFS uses that key and then decide if you want to change MSFS or PF3. Personally I changed the former.

Best way is to copy your keyboard profile. I called mine PF3 and I deleted all of the conflicts. This way, if you want to fly without PF3 you just use the default keyboard profile.
