master arm switch/master safety switch

[wolle]

When preparing to employ weapons, there is talk of two switches, the Master Arm switch and the Master Safety switch (or something like that). In the yellow cheat text that appears in the cockpit, they are called Master Arm and Safety Switcher. The tutorial covers how to turn on and off the Safety Switcher (it is the big red handle in back left part of the cockpit, confusingly it is called Master Arm in the tool tips), but how can I turn the Master Arm switch on and off? Where is that switch in the cockpit? The tutorial doesn't cover that switch, but simply says "Assuming the Master Arm switch is on..."

Hi Wolle. You have the "Big Red Handle" in the left back overhead which is the Alt-S switch. And the other master switch is a toggle to the left of the Weapons circuit breakers which is the "P" switch. When it is on your weapons annunciator lights are lit. It is the big upper right toggle in the Left Overhead Panel. And of course your weapons circuit breakers have to be on first. Easiest just to flip on all 3 rows, Rctrl + RShft + 1, 2, or 3
