KSP compared to a real Soyuz control panel

[Man in the Mun]

I appreciate that KSP is just a game and some unrealism was done to make it more playable. On KSP we get plenty of info displayed to us, for example we get a live feed of velocity in m/s, height, amount of fuel left, throttle percentage and nice graphic indications of our ballistic trajectory / orbit. 

But the recent mid-launch abort of Soyuz MS-10 got me thinking.... Does anyone know what info the Soyuz cosmonauts get displayed to them and what they look at during launch? And whats the Commander prodding with his stick, does Soyuz have spacebar and esc keys ? 

It appears that the cosmonauts didn't fully see what was happening,  they just reported feeling weightless and I think it was Mission Control who radioed to them that a rocket failure had occurred. Im guessing they can get height from a barometric altimeter and maybe the rest gets radioed from a radar tracking station?

I'm afraid it's all in Russian, so you should use an online translator,

And a DOS training program (works in DosBox, I checked), but in Russian and DOS.

Alright, let's start with the basics. Soviets were MechJeb fans, so the only think the crew didi during abort is engage ballistic reentry mode.

The two sticks are for orientation and translation RCS thrusters.

There is zero visibility ahead - they've only recently added a blister o the orbital module. Therefore, the Soyuz is flown through a periscope displayed on the circular screen.

I'd share some clips from Salyut-7, otherwise known as Soyuz-T-13 porn, but it looks like they're only found in the darker corners of the Russian web.
