weapons

To activate/arm the weapons, go to cockpit view and toggle the "master arm" switch. This allows you to use the missiles.


afterburner
To activate the afterburner, position the lever labeled "afterburner modes" either forward or backwards. Then toggle the button to the right of the throttle labelled "AB". This allows you to use the afterburner. If you the leave the lever in any of the positions, you can then toggle the afterburner by just using activation group 6 only.

I hope this explanation clarifies the controls a little better.

    @FalHartIndustries For weapons, go to the cockpit view and toggle the "master arm" switch.

    For the afterburner, in cockpit view, toggle the button labelled "AB", and set the nearest lever on the left to any position. The button labelled "AB" toggles "activation group 6".

    • Both the lever and group 6 have to be toggled for the afterburner to work. Other features are also labelled in the cockpit view, such as lights and a jettison button.
