How to activate rockets/bombs on F4U-4?
« on: January 08, 2002, 05:46:00 PM »
Have just downloaded the AcesHigh software and am slowly familiarizing myself with the program.  Not new to the concept as I flew  AirWarrior (I, II and III) a few years ago.  Do find myself a tad rusty, though.
Have been flying the 'F4U-4' "Corsair" in AH and have loaded some rockets and bombs on the aircraft in the hangar.
Take-off, flying, shooting guns etc. is all ok, except in all the literature ('Help' files, 'Keyboard' summary, Online info) I've been unable to find any info on how to select and fire the rockets and how to arm and drop the bombs with the "Corsair".  
In the case of the bombs, the "B" key doesn't do anything, except shoot the guns.  The "O" key opens the (non-existing) bomb doors, but then what?
I haven't found a gunsight either to aim them; unless the 'regular' gunsight is used for the bombs too.
Is there anybody that can give me info on how to activate and work the rockets/bombs?

Thanks.

Herman,

Pressing '\' cycles thru the primary weapons (guns, rockets, bombs). Pressing 'BACKSPACE' will cycle you thru the secondary weapons.

Fire the primary weapon with the 'F' key and the secondary with the 'B' key.

In the F4u, you use the regular gunsight for aiming every weapon.

It's all there in the 'Help' file.  ;)

Thanks allUSA,

I must have been looking in the wrong 'Help' files.  This will surely help me to enjoy the "game"(?) even better!
 :)
Thanks again.

Remember if you are flying somewhere else than Main Arena and training with F4u-4 you cant fly it in MA before you have earned enough perkpoints.

So in MA you have to fly something else which is not as good plane as F4U4.
