The In-game tutorial is accessed through the very first game screen after you have chosen Start New Commander.

There are 9 lessons:

1 ... The HUD
2 ... Using the scanner
3 ... Flight training (includes dodging practice for dogfights)
4 ... Weapons systems
5 ... Missiles
6 ... Combat practice (teaching how to dogfight ... rather than sniping from a distance)
7 ... Docking practice
8 ... Information screens (F5 & F5F5, F6 & F6F6, etc)
9 ... System Navigation (from the Witchpoint beacon to the main orbital station)

One uses the n button to advance in each lesson.

The b button modifies the n button: It toggles the n-button between 3 functions:

next stage in lesson (default setting)

next lesson

restart lesson

So to skip several lessons one must press b ... n then b ... n and then b ... n repeatedly

The in-game tutorial was introduced by Cim as part of the innovations in Oolite version 1.80 back in 1984

Contracts - cargo, parcel & passenger
Force Misjump
Using weapons of mass destruction
How do I ... dock / succeed in trading / win a fight / configure my controller/joystick etc
