I had the same issue but found if I looked backwards I could see the edge of the switch in the bottom left of the screen
Easier now I know you can click the middle mouse button. I have the same issue with seeing if the speed brakes are on!

It’s probably just practice. Maybe you’re going too slow and the plane is becoming too unstable.
Without wanting to hijack the thread, but I wondered if the server idea was because he wanted to fly with a friend, but not yet wanting to get into the whole virtual squadron thing. Is this possible? If so, how would it be set up?
Are you in Instant Action or doing one of the training missions? I’ve been playing a while and only recently realised you could slew the radar cursor! I was just using TMS Up and TMS Right to find a target. How did you configure it? I can’t find the buttons in the key file.
If you have AIM120’s selected, you need to hold the pickle button down for a second or so before it fires.
It’s really hard at first. I’ve been playing on and off for a while and barely scratched the surface, but that’s why people love it. I think it would it be helpful if there was a noob forum that new starters could ask questions. Most of the problem I have is that I don’t know the key stroke for something, or where something is. Although there are great videos, you end up with brain overload trying to remember things all at the same time. As an example, going into to Instant Action, click the A-A round button enters A-A Master Mode, but how do you cycle weapons? Clicking it again goes back into NAV. I can click on the RMFD button to change weapon, but there must be a key stroke I can map to a joystick button?
I know this was touched on before, but I wonder what the likelyhood is of releasing Falcon 4.0 with BMS 4.3.3.1 as a package? You could say it’s unfair on the BMS guys (and gals?) that they’ve done loads of work and won’t receive a penny, but it would increase the player base of the game hugely. And maybe in future versions, the BMS team could benefit financially even if it’s only to cover costs. From what I can see the people playing BMS are only those that played Falcon 4 originally. There’s a whole generation out there now that know nothing about it. I’ve introduced my 11 year old to it now though
Feel free to delete, if anyone feels this is inappropriate.
If you want to use presets, presumably you would need to set a channel (e.g. 15) to the tower you take off from and another (16?) for the tower you’re landing at? Just want to make sure I understand it all!
Also, when flying the A10-C, the data cartridge always seems to be loaded? I tried to see a way of loading it manually but it didn’t work the same way i.e. there didn’t seem to be a DTE option. And it always shows “Data Catridge Loaded”
One more thing, I can’t see a way (in the A10-C) of entering the frequency of the tower. Does the A10-C, in the sim, only use presets?
Can you tell I’m new to this?

Is there a Non-TrackIR version for 4.3.3? Or is it fairly simple just to remove the track IR bits?
From what I can gather, someone bought the rights to Falcon 4.0 and there are issues about rights and licenses to the Falcon franchise (if that’s the right word).

I don’t know if this is where I should put this, but when I do the first training mission “Ground Ops” it’s always in an A10-C. In the training manual, it gives a description and step by step process, which is great, but for an F-16.
Why do I always start in an A10? Is there a run down, switch position etc, for an A10? I’m running 4.3.3
