New to FC2. Help please!

Hi everyone,

 

I am new to FC2 and I find it a very fun combat simulator so far. It took me some time to figure out how to designate a target, use all my weapons etc. but eventually I figured out almost everything. I was just wondering what all the different icons were on the HUD and the two screens in the cockpit. I have no clue what they are called. So when I select a certain missile, I can move the target designator to lock onto aircraft. So when I am scanning for these aircraft there are quite a few different icons that appear. There are stacked bars with some space in between each bar, solid single bars and solid dots. I can lock onto each one, but I'm not sure if i'm supposed to fire instantly. When can I fire? What do each of these icons mean? And one more thing. If I lock onto an aircraft and there is a cross through the box, does it mean the aircraft is friendly? Thanks!
