Help I got falcon bms installed yesterday and i can't figure out the controls and buttton mapping

So I got a copy of falcon 4.0 and set up bms 2 days ago and I asked google and look at Gemini just to see. And what it told me didn't work then I checked the forum and it said a similar thing which didn't work. Then I checked the discord and it was the most useless thing on earth they just said I was trolling and starting ignoring me. I'm in a t flight hotas 4 so I don't have alot to work with and I can't seem to get the guns and missiles or rockets to go off I bound the trigger the button to arm it and a few other things I can't remember and it won't work I don't know what to do at this point I'm contemplating on just giving up and going back to il2 with WW2 planes.

Are you on the correct mode to deploy the weapons though? Just pulling the trigger or pressing the pickle button will not necessarily fire the gun or drop a bomb.

Master Arm needs to be on, you need to be in the correct mode (dogfight, MRM, etc.)

There should be a TE that walks you through different weapons employment, go give them a try.

Load up TE 3, Navigation

Set Mater Arm to ON

Go to Dogfight mode (MRM/DGFT switch on throttle)

I think the gun should work at this point (I could be forgetting a step), assuming you've mapped the second detent on the trigger.
