I've printed out the Quickstart guide and it seems like it is a shortened version of the tutorials. M is for Master mode in it, haven't found the D key reference yet, but I'll try it.

Really beginning to feel like one. I am not a pilot but have always loved sims. I have been immersing myself in the training totorials but would love to get out there and actually blow some shit up!:lol: Putting it on game mode I have found all targets lit up nicely but have not been able to figure out the weapons. pressing M doesn't seem to cycle thru them for me or bring up the gun. Or maybe I don't even know how to cycle M. Shouldn't game mode make life simple? I know this game is as maximum as simming gets and I am loving it. I just need to settle those testosterone itches a bit.:D

It actually says to set waypoint 4 which is inline with the target but I keep going straight, on autopilot. I will steer myself that way. But, having given up on that one for a while, I went back to the Maverick Tutorial and actually, finally nailed the first tank. Unfortunately the next instruction for this one is to come around, fly out over the water for a few miles and set up for the next Mav. As I peel off the seeker head stays on target and swings to its gimbal limit. And nothing I do works from there. Guess I'll just try, try again.

I did finally get by this problem but now am stuck on Pricision Guided Munitions where I get to actually locking the target pressing control/up arrow and don't get a lock. Then, of course, my tutor fades back into the either. And I start all over again.

Wonder why I can't find that under commands?

The mission is the weapons system training mission. And, yes, you have it right as to exactly where this is happening to me. And I was unaware that there would be a difference in the length of time pressed on the key sets. Gads! Complicated! And, in my sucessive trys, I have held the keys down to see if anything elso changes. I'll try again. Thanks. Doug

The tutorial has been going well up until the AN/AAQ-28 training. After slewing up, down, and sideways and changing to the little square on the hud I use cntr. + up arrow to get the tail indicator added and then patiently wait for more instructions. And nada. Nothing. I have now run thru this exercise a half dozen times with same result. Is this a bug? And, where is the autopilot button. Searched in vain after inadvertantly hitting the wrong button on a few occasions. Help!

Is it possible to have a simple keyboard layout on paper? One I can keep close by till it has become second nature? And for all of us running simple joysticks like my new Logitech Extreme 3d Pro I guess I need to figure out what more important commands to add to it that are assigned to a Hotas setup. Any help here would be appreciated. Oh ya, spending hours in the cocpit again and loving it.:)
