Manual pgs 519-525. What part/page are you having problems with?

 

Btw - Weapons release and Cannon fire are different key-inputs.

You already have the manual - enter the directory where you installed the game (normal install path is within Program Files/Eagle Dynamics), then open the "Doc" folder and you will find the manual.

 

Also, do note that (as Viper said) you do NOT use the same button to fire the gun and the rockets. The gun is fired as normal with the trigger (two-step for the GUNPAC if your stick supports that), and all other weapons are fired with a key combination named Weapons Release in the setup. I think it is Ralt-Space as standard. If you do not have this mapped to your stick and is using the trigger to try to fire the rockets, the rockets will not fire.

Rockets are fired by the weapon release button which fires all weapons other than the gun. To select weapons use your left MFD. Can't recall which button it is but just keep pushing buttons on the bottom until the weapons management screen comes up. Click the button next to the weapon you want to select and have fun. Remember to make sure you're on the correct weapon mode before you deploy weapons. It's one of the joystick buttons. You still need to go through the manual though. Look at the buttons on the stick and throttle and map as many as you can. You need the DMS and TMS hats (whatever they're called) for certain. You'll also want to map the mouse on the throttle because you're going to use that a lot with your map system and targeting pod. I think it's the 'master switch' or something like that, you want that too. Obviously you want weapon release and 'fire cannon' as well. The first stage of the trigger stabilizes the plane but I don't think you need that. Helps a ton though. Anyway read and work on one weapon system at a time. You'll get this plane down before you know it.

Alternatively you could start with the quick manual in the doc folder and pay special attention to the HOTAS section. This shows you the controls/hats/switches available to the pilot which are referenced to in the training missions.

Kinkos copied my entire manual for $57 dollars, that included the binder. The bad side it`s in black and white but color does not make that much a difference.

$57 dollars is certainly much less expensive than a new printer! Ask for the bulk rate.
