Page 23 Engine Nozzle Position Indicator: "indicted" should be "indicated".

Page 23 It is a single light.

Page 23 Hydraulic and Oil Pressure Warning Light: It is a single light.

Page 22 Miscellaneous (MISC) Panel: Roll switch indeed maintains roll attitude but pitch attitute is selected by the PITCH switch which can be set to ALT HOLD. So it should be "ATT HOLD maintains the current roll attitude".

Page 22 Left and Right Multifunction Display (MFD): CRT were used on F-16A/B. Block 50 uses LCD.

Page 22 Eyebrow Lights: It is a pushbutton, not a light. "and IFF" should be "an IFF". It is a pushbutton, not a light.

Page 21 AOA Indexer: Should be "you are above 14-degrees of angle of attack".

Page 16 Changing Airspeed: There is only one engine so should be "engine"

Page 15 Flight Controls: ARI (aileron-rudder interconnect) is automatic, so pilot does not need to use the rudder pedals for coordinating smooth turns.

Thats how it looks in the sim to me: And thats how it looks IRL: The pushbuttons should be at least 1 cm higher. I am aware ECM is a WIP. Is it just a matter of perspective? Can someone with a VR headset see how it looks from the side?

Before doing anything else: 1. From cold start, turn HUD SYM thumbwheel all the way up. 2. HUD will not come ON (as expected) since there is no power. 3. Close the canopy and start the engine. 4. When engine at idle and MAIN GEN light is OFF, look at the HUD. It is still OFF! 5. Turn the AVIONICS POWER MMC switch to ON. 6. HUD will come ON! 7. Turn the MMC power to OFF. 8. HUD will stay ON! HUD should come ON regardless of MMC power. HUD Symbology may be all zeroes or other defualt values but HUD power should be ON.

When using the rudder pedals as brakes, the range of travel should be much more, I don't remember exactly but 75 degrees would be much better than now. I used to repair it and bench test it.

It sounds like a regular mechanical switch. It is a rubber switch so it makes no sound IRL. If tectile feedback is needed, it should sound like the other ICP pushbuttons. Fully reproduceable so no track file needed.

Yes, using the stick trim.

When you rotate this rotatry switch CCW, from EXT CTR up to TEST, it makes a switching sound. When you rotate the rotary switch CW from TEST to EXT CTR, it makes no sound. Fully reproduceable so no track file needed.

Use your mousewheel to move the pitch or roll thumbwheels to its mechanical stop. The white zero trim line on the thumbwheel disappears soon after the thumwheel is rotated so the line is inside the panel. That range is too small. The range should be that the white line can be barely seen in the opposite end of the trim direction, slightly below the edge of the panel. So if you trim the roll to full LWD, the white line should appear at the edge of the RWD. The range of motion is approximately 270 degrees to each direction from center (zero trim). Fully reproduceable so no track file needed. As a reminder, I used to repair those panels for a living.

Before applying any power, move the pitch and roll thumbwheels in your Manual Trim Panel. The needles will not move. That's a definitive bug, fully reproducible so no track file needed. The needles are purely a mechanical representation of the thumbwheel angle. It requires no power whatsoever to operate. I used to repair those in O,I and D levels of maintenace.

Being a FLCS maintainer for 3 decades, I never heard of a "refueling mode". There are only "cruise gains" and "take off and landing gains" which FLCS guys call "slow flight". There is also "standby gains" but that is a backup used only in dual air data failures. LJQCN101 is absolutely right. Please state the source for this refueling mode.

As an FLCS maintainer, I was forced to close each panel and access door/cover and check for smoothness by running my finger all over the fasteners and panel edge. Most of the primary FLCS harnesses are routed through the fuel tanks so I had to watch crew chiefs opening/closing those panels a lot. It is also mandatory by each panel open/close Job Guide. If I found a certain panel not flush with the skin, I would allert the crew chief to fix it, as it will and have caused wierd FLCS malfunctions like slips, mis-trim, drag, fluctuations, rattling noise and many more. What is shown in the OP picture is quite excessive.

As someone who used to repair the Manual Trim Panels, I can tell you for sure the pitch rate is 20 seconds from side to side and the roll rate is 45 seconds from side to side.

It has nothing to do with the size of the refueling receptacle. When the AIR REFUEL door is open the FLCS changes mode to "Slow Flight", the same when you lower the landing gear handle.

After the Nov 4 update, which fixed something with the hydraulic guages, I think a new bug has surfaced. Fix for fuel flow indicator, hydraulic pressure indicators, oil pressure indicator, nozzle position indicator Instant action -Takeoff. Before taking off, set your EPU switch to OFF. Takeoff and climb to 10K feet. Shutdown the engine by the master fuel switch to OFF. Engine will die slowly and EPU will not come on as expected. AC power to the HYD PRESS guages is lost so their reading is stuck at the last value (3000) as expected. Wait for engine RPM to reach zero. Move the control surfaces violently to deplete any remaing hydraulic pressure from the accumulators. Stall the aircraft on purpose to counter the windmilling effect. Flight controls will still respond even if hydraulic pressure is completely lost. Here is the track file. http://www.mediafire.com/file/qdx4azysufpj1ju/HYD+PRESS.trk/file Is it still a windmilling effect or a bug?

Latest OpenBeta Instant Action - Free flight. Engage A/P for ALT HOLD. Move throttle to maintain a constant airspeed as possible. Move ENG CONT switch to SEC. Airspeed should reduce due to SEC lower thrust but airspeed remains the same. Move ENG CONT switch to PRI. Airspeed should increase due to PRI higher thrust but airspeed remains the same. According to -1: "In flight, MIL thrust is 70-95 percent of that provided at PRI MIL." Here is a very short track file. http://www.mediafire.com/file/bx8ci8...HRUST.trk/file

This is not from the DCS manual. It is from the -1-2 which I believe DCS F-16 is based on, and if not, it should be! The -1-2 is publicly available.

Can you please try to reproduce with CAT I just to see if it has anything to do with it?
