This post is a comprehensive instruction tutorial on how to perform the task of adding weapons to an aircraft in RealFlight G5. In this tutorial, we will add a machine gun to the included AT-6 Texan. The Channel 5 Dual Rate switch will be used to control the firing of this weapon. You can build on what is explained here to perform more complex functions such as moving the weapon mount point, adding multiple mounts, etc.
