The coloured signal flares are fired using these buttons on the rear end of the right hand console: (edit: the colour-coded ones marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the center of the picture)

Flip the switch to 'On', then just press the button corresponding to the colour you want.

 

Be aware, though, that you only have one flare of each colour and it's basically just dropped from your helicopter, it doesn't get shot anywhere. So to mark a target with it, you - well - have to fly over your target, which is probably not the best way of doing it.

 

If you mark the target for a fellow Ka-50, consider using the datalink. If you are marking for someone else, like a strike airplane, a better way might be to use a smoke rocket.

Thank you so much. I want to use in case of find out enemies below but I never fly too close to them. Its very usefull to mark towns, infantery, or places to other planes.
