This is the tutorial where I have to fight two ships using gimbal weapons and missiles. Can anyone tell me how I actually fire the missiles? No hint in the tutorial that I see. Embarrassing having to ask for help in a tutorial I know

You have to bind the misile's to either a key or a secondery fire button on your joystick(primary firebutton is proberly bound to lasers/multicanons) under options setup....
then you go into the right UI-panel and set the misiles to second fire button and normal Laser/multicanon with the first firebutton,
unless you want only to use primary firebutton for misiles too, then you'll have to setup misiles to a second firegroup all together and then you can use primary firebutton for both misiles and laser/multicanon and simply switch firegroup for when firing misiles or lasers....

Alos, you have to lock onto your target before you can fire a missile. To do that, keep the target in your sights a little while. There will be a visible (reticle animation) as well as audible indication when it's locked on and ready to fire.

Thanks for your suggestions. Got it sorted and I added a new Thrustmaster.
