guns will open fire.

fire until they receive the command ‘Fire’ from the FO after the user has sent the

message to the FO and waits for the Fire command. The “Fire” button is active in

the fourth transmission panel within the “Subsequent Changes”.

enabled. Here, the user can enter the time that they require the rounds to land

at the target. This time is based on the Simulation timer on the Tool bar.

 Do Not Load – If DNL is ordered, then the guns will not fire until they receive the
