Drop bombs anf fire missiles
Hello I was wondering how I can drop bombs and fire missiles on AFPD? I've seen videos of this but I do not know how to do it yet. Also how do I use the rescue hook on the helicopters and load objects to pick up. Thanks

RE: Drop bombs anf fire missiles
Baldwind, you will have to select a model which has been designed to drop bombs or shoot missiles. Some models may have "static" bombs or missiles and these cannot be activated. You will have to read the description of the model to determine this, and how to assign the controls.
Let's take the B29 model in AFPD for example. It carries a bomb that can be dropped or shot as a missile. In controls, you can assign the "tow hook" to drop the bomb and the "wing sweep" to shoot the missile. You can assign these functions to numerical keypad 1, 3, 7 or 9 (Numlock must be on), or you can assign to any switch on your radio. When you have done the control assignment, remember to perform calibration on the radio switches.
Here's an extract from page 15 of the manual which you may find helpful too:
If your remote control unit has only 4 channels, some functions can also be controlled using the number-pad on your keyboard. For this Numlock must be activated. You have a total of 4 digital channels (operating like on/off switches) and 2 analog channels. You control the analog channels using the 2 and 8 keys, and the 4 and 6 keys. You can set up the digital channels with the functions retractable gear, smoke, tow hook, wheel brake and autorotation and the 2 analog channels for the flaps and wing sweep
