2 regarding sniper pod how can i zoom in and out; always not finding assignment in button list; also cage/uncage does not work
3 how can i move tdc radar cursor and lock targets?thanks for your help

What .key file are you using? For the Basic.key, nosewheel steering is SHIFT + /, wheel brakes are K (hold).
Zoom in/out of the TGP is ALT+F3 and ALT+F4, I think… Uncage is U
Radar cursor control is done via your RDR Cursor controls which is SHIFT+Arrow Keys (not NumPad), lock is done via TMS UP or SHIFT+HOMEGoing forward, I suggest learning how to navigate the .key file both in the UI and in Notepad++. The .key file is arranged according to the order of the switches in the cockpit, so it should be easy (albeit a lot of scrolling ) to find the controls you need. It would also be better if you learn to reference the controls by callbacks as the key combination assignments can change depending on .key file used.
Nosewheel steering is SimMissileStep
Brakes is SimWheelBrakes
Zoom in/out is SimRangeKnobUp and SimRangeKnobDown (I think…)
Radar cursor is SimCursorUp, SimCursorDown, SimCursorLeft,SimCursorRight
Lock is SimTMSUpHope that helps!

Seriously recommend reading the manuals

sure, i am reading everything, huge amount of info :9….thnaks

Probably a bit of overload.
Doesn’t hurt to ask, it will get you in the air.
Keep reading but don’t expect to get everything working at once, get the basic joystick functions set first.
Good hunting.

Start with the -1 manual
And the training manual plus TEs. -
hello ice
-1 :done
weapon delivery manual -34 :done
F16 combat fundamentals : still reading
where do i find TE manual?
still do not find in sim assignment NWS A/R MSL STEP button…sorry where is it?
-
TE manual is BMS-Training.pdf
Search your .key file for:
SimMissileStepThat is your STICK: NWS A/R DISC MSL STEP SWITCH which as you can see has different functions –- NWS, A/R DISC, MSL STEP.
Also, do not worry if you don’t understand everything you read… not everything will make sense on the first pass. What’s important is that you know where to look if you have a question about a certain gauge, control, etc.

That was what my comments in Afrikaans was actually all about, If you dont have the time to HELP a noob with a question, even the most basic ones, what about go playing on the rail tracks
Come on guys , i have tried the manuals also, numerous times, and yes, for some it make perfect sence, for others, WE need time and patience. So WHAT

I see what you’re talking about now…. all I can say is — you expect to get help with that sort of attitude?

dave, here’s another attempt at your questions. I won’t bother with keyboard commands or anything. Instead I’ll tell you like you have an F-16 in your driveway at home. It’s limited information but hopefully it will provide a kind of big picture guidance which promotes more understanding. From that the details of “well what key do I press to” come later.
1. The nosewheel steering is activated by a button on the side stick controller which is mounted on the forward part of the right console. This button also controls air to air refueling disconnect and other combat functions summarized by the term “missile step.” The default key file is split up into logical groups for example the consoles from left to right. Knowing where any control is in the cockpit helps find it in the key file. Knowing that the same button may have an unofficial name “missile step” aids in finding it even though you may be looking for a different title.
The wheel brakes are controlled by tilting the rudder pedals forward, left and right bindable as axes. There is also a single keyboard command to apply both brakes fully. I didn’t know where to find this command either as it isn’t within the normal left-to-right cockpit sweep of the key layout. So I opened the BMS Keystrokes - Defaults.pdf and searched for “brake” finding it in Section 6, Miscellaneous, 6.01 Other Cockpit Controls.
2. The TGP has a variable field of view controlled in two ways. First is a wide or narrow choice selected by a button at the base of the SSC called the Pinky Switch. Alternatively this selection can be made on the MFD itself. In addition the manual range knob applies a continuous change in magnification with either field of view selection made previously. The range knob is found on the throttle and may be controlled as an axis or as buttons to increase/decrease. Knowing that the throttle is on the left side, the name of the control, and that it will be listed logically in the mentioned PDF finding the place in the key file is possible.
The TGP is not changed from standby to normal use by the uncage command and must be done so by buttons on the appropriate MFD.
3. The radar is generally moved by the cursor which is a directional control on the throttle handle. The cursor may also be pressed as the enable command. The cursor and its button are collectively referred to as cursor-enable.
Locking is generally managed by manipulation of the target management switch (TMS), a four-direction hat switch on the SSC. Pressing TMS up locks and TMS down unlocks. TMS manipulation has a large number of effects in various modes and depending on the length of time it is held in each direction or even if double-tapped.
