The inner circle of beacons show the direction to target depending on aircraft heading. Outer beacons show how close the target is.

16• Aircraft status

Aircraft position, altitude and fuel consumption rate.

Take off and landing

speed above 250km/h for take off.For landing Throttle to 20-25% and keep AOA on speed.use VTOL up or break to rduce speed. If you are using trim at full dont try to pitch, the control surfaces effect will be inverted. To increase and decrease altitude, use throttle instead. Do the same for landing on carrier, but be more cautious. Carrier landings tends to be a little bit violent. AG-7/Arresting hook for deploying arresting hook

Mid air refueling

havent done it myself, but line up with the tanker and match its speed. Try not to shoot it down.

The aircraft should work in VR. Every switch and controls are within range. Allso Every important controls such as weapon cycling, target cycling, countermeasures and firing weapon and guns are put on the joy stick and throttle grip. So you don't really have to take your arms of controls, except for activation groups.
