Instant action mission feedback

[Merlins51]

In the dogfight instant action mission, you have the bandit on your twelve o'clock closing on you, but your gunsight isn't turned on, the master arm is off, all the guns are turned off, and the gun safeties are set to safe.   All of which takes a lot of time and fiddling in order to prepare the aircraft for combat.  

My preference would be to have the aircraft set up to fire the guns when loading in to the mission.  Otherwise one ends up in a circling fight with the bandit before everything's set up.

I'm surprised this hasn't been seconded.  Likewise, free-flight in the instant action mission for testing purposes.  Otherwise, we're forced to do a complete start and take off for testing or combat the enemy before we can do testing.  

There is a sort of free-flight in the training with the Field landing.
