Grumman Tracker for FSX.

Recently I downloaded the 'Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations' FSX version of the Grumman Tracker. A lovely model with great sound and excellent visuals. However I have a couple of control function queries.
After unsuccessfully trying to contact them through their website I am asking if anyone at Simviation whom has the same software could shed some light?
Firstly I can't get the searchlight to work by switching the switch just in front of the searchlight joystick. Then in the 'Readme' 'Ops' file item 2 says "Radome, TWA, Folding antenna uses the Concorde extend/retract nose commands-assign appropriate keys in FS to operate" can you explain the term 'TWA'. I have seen a Tracker on YouTube also folding up its wings after a carrier landing in FSX, is that also possible with this model software. Any help would be appreciated, this is a fine aircraft simulation and worth sorting out, cheers.

The Trackers wings fold. You need to assign a key to the "wing fold" action in settings/controls/assign buttons O0

Thanks Chuck79 & Hagar for your prompt replies, yes my wings now fold, great. Last item if you can, is the search light control. The switch in front of the joystick don't work the light in the daytime/night time/ airborne or on the ground?? Any thing in aircraft config file I should check?
