How to use flares while flying?

[Yankee_One]

Hi guys,

 

 

i know how to use flares when on ground

 

 

Cntrl + 1 = Red

Cntrl + 2 = Green

Cntrl + 3 = White

 

 

and fire them with left mouse button.

 

 

But how can i use / shoot them when flying?

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help

the same way. no difference whatsoever. German planes even have ports to shoot out. not sure about Russians though

Thanks Asgar,

 

i have tried it in QMB but it didnt worked for me? It was a kind of freeflight with the E-7.

I dont really remember what was the default keymapping for shooting the flares, but mine is Ctrl+Space, some planes have flare tubes, so you can shoot even with the cannopy closed, the ones that dont have that, you have to open the cannopy.

mine is LMB...and i think that's standard. Whatever button you use on the ground shoul also work in the air. when you select your flare you should see the ammo left, like on the ground and (if your flying the 109) there is a hole, front right under the canopy glass. the flare gun should appear in there. than you can fire.

@Istruba,

 

Ok, thats fine. Never used them, thought i was doing sth wrong. It depends on planes like i see.

 

Thank you for your help mate!
