Just Cause Keyboard Controls
Just Cause is Avalanche Studios' 2006 debut of Rico Rodriguez, sent by Eidos to topple a dictator on the island of San Esperito. The PC version predates the series' famous free grapple: here F puts Rico into a stunt position on a moving vehicle, and from there the hook, the parachute and Spacebar let him leap between cars, boats and aircraft, each with its own small set of flight or driving keys.
