  1. The flight control system (analog and digital) has no control what so ever over the speed brakes. That means FLCS BIT can't open/close them. They are controlled manually by the throttle switch. Analog FLCS will drive the control surfaces fast. Digital FLCS was fixed to prevent hard demand from the hydraulic systems so they will move slower during BIT.
  2. Well, I always tested the system with the external power cable connected. I maintained block 40. Probably my fault. Disregard. Not having access to T.O.s is a big problem, since I don't remember everything without proof...
  3. This is called a diamond profile because it resembles the shape of the lower part of a diamond. The LEFs will move to -2 degrees in the transonic region.
  4. Is this a simpit or RL? If RL, is the external electrical power cable connected? Which block is it?
  5. This thread is marked "missing references". Unfortunately, I have retired so I don't have access to T.O.s. However, if you have access to J.G. 24-00-07 (Flight Control System Power Operational Checkout) or to the schematic diagram 24-00-07 at 24FI, you will see the correct logic.
  6. Latest beta. First training mission. 1. Move MAIN PWR switch to BATT. 2. Move FLCS PWR switch to MAINT. FLCS RLY remains ON. That's a bug since in MAINT mode, all power is cut to the FLCS so the Converter/Regulator cannot drive the FLCS RLY light. It should be OFF. By the way, the switch should not make a sound in TEST since it is spring loaded, not lever locked. The sound should be only between MAINT and center position. 1. Move MAIN PWR switch to MAIN PWR. 2. Move FLCS PWR switch to TEST. TO FLCS light will come ON. 2. Move FLCS PWR switch to MAINT. Same bug, that light has no power and should be OFF.
  7. Almost 2 years have passed since I reported that bug. Nothing got fixed. The narrator and the mission text claim that the EPU GEN and EPU PMG caution lights are on the EPU panel. However, they are on the ELEC panel. @BIGNEWYYou promised me you reported it to the mission creator...
  8. Page 48: "The dilute lever can be set to normal O2 mixture or 100% 02" Its 100% O2, not 100% 02. Page 48: "It is activated by placing the switch in the ON position or it can be set to AUTO and will automatically turn one" turn on, not one.
  9. Page 44: "The anti-collision knob has an OFF and seven options that apply to the anti-collision lights when in flashing mode:" That light is a single light, not lights. Page 44: "To the right of this is the Master Covert knob that has positions for external lights overt and convert" covert, not convert. Page 45: "Below the switch is the Electrical Caution Reset button that can clear electrical system caution lights" The ELEC SYS caution light is a single light, not lights.
  10. Page 43: "Once complete and successful, the light turns off and the switch snaps back to center." This switch has no center position. It will snap back to OFF. Page 43: "On the leftmost side is the Master Fuel switch, which is guarded. It opens or closes the main fuel shutoff valve. This is normally guarded to the on position." There is no ON position. It is MASTER position.
  11. Page 41: "When a PFLD item is displayed, its corresponding caution light indicator will illuminate and the and the master caution light will be lit." and the appears twice. Page 43: "The Digital Back Up, or DBU switch, selects the FLCS backup software. If enabled, you will see the DBU caution light and a HUD warning." DBU ON is a warning light, not a caution light.
  12. Page 35: IFF Identification Light. Fault Acknowledge Light. Those are not lights, just buttons. Page 35: "The left multifunction display, or MFD, consists of a full color CRT" In 2007, I don't think it was a CRT. I think it was already replaced to LCD.
  13. Page 34: The picture has an empty text box under the DED label for the right eyebrow warning lights. Page 34: "The angle of attack indexer consists of three lights. If the top light is illuminated with a red chevron, you are above 14° of angle attack and you are pulling with an energy depleting angle of attack." English is not my native language but the part "you are above 14° of angle attack" does not seem grammatically correct to me.
  14. Isn't JFS doors animation still a WIP?
  15. The gearbox mechanically links the motor, pot, needle and thumbwheel. If the motor moves, everything else moves, so the pot sends a new value to the FLCS. If the thumbwheel is manually moved, everything else moves, so the pot sends a new value to the FLCS. The motor is quite strong, but can be stopped by holding the thumbwheel in place. The gearbox has a clutch so the motor will keep spinning without damage. Whenever I replaced a trim unit, I had to calibrate it so when the thumwheel is centered, the needle is centered and the pot signals 0 ohms. The motor is an AC motor so has no center position. Regarding the priority, I don't have access to the schematic drawings (27FI/GS) and I don't remember... The pilot (forward seat) has priority over the aft seat.
  16. Just to clarify: The Manual Trim Panel contains a PITCH trim unit and a completely seperate ROLL trim unit. Each unit has an electric motor that drives (through a gearbox) a potensiometer for position feedback, a needle for visual feedback and a thumbwheel for manual pilot inputs. Any movement of the PITCH or ROLL thumbwheels will mechanically move the corresponding needle, pot and the motor, regardless of electrical power status. Holding the trim hat switch will move the corresponding motor and through the gearbox, the needle, pot and thumbwheel in a manner that will make it difficult to manually move the thumbwheel to another angle. The gearbox has some inertia so using opposite trim hat commands will take up to 2 trim dots to stop and reverse direction. There is no, and never was, a logic to auto-drive the ROLL trim unit. Only the PITCH trim unit has logic to auto-drive it to center. I was a shop manager and fixed myself more than 100 MTP's through my service so I have intimate knowledge about that box.
  17. ROLL trim should never reset by the FLCS. There is no logic (hardware and software) what so ever to implement that function. There is logic only for the PITCH trim.
  18. Here is the requested track file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/n3foma22w7jz8bp/JFS.trk/file Refs: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/63963/how-is-the-jfs-manual-hand-pump-operated-on-an-f-16 http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28468
  19. As a reference to this post: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-f-16c-viper/7154831-jfs-accumulators Cold and dark 1. Start the JFS to START 2. 2. Wait few seconds. 3. Before RPM reaches 10%, shut down the JFS. 4. Wait for RPM to reach zero and no JFS sound. Repeat several times. It seems JFS accumulators do not deplete after several unsuccessful start attemps. According to -1:
  20. Are the JFS accumulators modeled properly? If I start the JFS with START2, wait few seconds and shut it off, I believe it should deplete the JFS accumulators because RPM does not reach 10% which is the minimum for HYD B to recharge them. I am able to do this many times and the JFS always starts. How many start attempts can be done before requiring to use the hand pump?
  21. But sometimes I see on the ground the AOA reaching up to +180 degrees and down to -180 degrees. The aircraft AOA transmitters can only measure a total range of 70 degrees. So, is it a bug or somehing else?
  22. What does the F2 Infobar actually shows? or meant to show? Is it a direct replicated readout from the aircraft instrument? Or is it the current state of variables from the simulation and physics engine? I ask because sometimes the infobar shows numbers I know for a fact the aircraft can't measure or display in its instruments.
  23. Yes. The cockpit should be in a "Safe For Maintenance" mode which means everything is in OFF/SAFE position. Unless the aircraft is in ALERT condition.
  24. Thanks man but from the second I noticed the wheel is not animated I thought thats how the coders probably coded it. I'm a coder myself so I always think like that. Correct me if I'm wrong but to be used as an analog axis to a physical throttle, those commands needs to be under "Axis Commands", not the "Throttle Quadrant".
