Remaining Non-Functioning Switches and Levers

I think there are just nine items that don't functional at all remaining on the F86F (i.e. can't be clicked or mapped, they're just static graphics).

Just wondering if there is any intention to add these items at some point.

Here's a complete list of them.

Rudder Gust Lock Handle

Camera Lens Switch

Fast Slaving Switch (on the Right Forward Console)

Landing Gear Warning Test Switch

Windshield Anti-icing Lever

Fragmentation Bomb Selector Switch

JETT SPL STORES (I can't find a reference in the manual for this one)

IFF Dial Stop (already mentioned here)

CW/Voice Switch (already mentioned here)

The little speedbrake switch on the throttle is not working.

The little speedbrake switch on the throttle is not working.

The throttle is currently missing animations (and clickspots) for

- Speed Brake Switch

- Sight Electrical Cage Button

- Microphone Button

- Rotating Grip

Already reported as ticket #27013.

Rudder Gust Lock Handle

Implementation of Rudder Gust Lock (or Surface Control Lock) already reported (ticket #27649).

Landing Gear Warning Test Switch

I think our F-86F-35 does not have a "Landing Gear Unsafe Warning Light Test Pushbutton" on the left forward console. See attachments.

I find it strange that it says "F-86F-1 through F-86F-15 Airplanes do not have the landing gear warning light test button" on Figure 1-15 when only some F-86F-25 and F-86F-30 have it.

If we don't have the "Landing Gear Unsafe Warning Light Test Pushbutton", we should be able to test the "Landing Gear Unsafe Warning Light" via the "landing gear warning horn cutout button" (see file "-1 p1-42 (revised 31-07-1967).png").

Yes agreed, we have the text for the test switch 'LDG. GR WARN. LT. TEST', but the push button itself has been replaced with a panel fastener.

Of course this test button illuminated the light in the landing gear handle, the 'Landing Gear Unsafe Warning Light', which itself is not modelled yet (as noted here).

If our F-86F-35 doesn't have this test button, then the text shouldn't be there either and pushing the 'Landing gear warning horn cutout button' should test the light instead.

Fast Slaving Switch (on the Right Forward Console)

 

I find it strange that this button would have been duplicated like this, there's no reason to have it fitted both on the instrument panel and the right forward console. Perhaps the statement "... on the instrument panel or on the right forward console." doesn't suggest it was fitted in both locations, but rather one or the other.

In which case it might be better to remove one or the other and not have both.

Agreed. I updated the existing ticket (#27011) accordingly.

 

JETT SPL STORES (I can't find a reference in the manual for this one)

 

 

 

I found a reference as to what this is for ........................................... eventually! :smilewink:

Camera Lens Switch

I also would like to see this whole panel operational, but was unable to find more information about the (Maurer?) P-2 aerial strike camera.

For example, what is the difference between filters F1, F2 and F3?

According to the manual, the rotary switch has the settings "BRIGHT", "HAZY" and "DULL", but in the sim we have a "MODE 1" setting instead of "BRIGHT". Can someone find a real photo of the panel so we can compare?

I only found this video of a different version which is showing the adjusting of the lens opening:

If we can gather the relevant information, I will create a feature request for implementation of the panel.

Windshield Anti-icing Lever

This was reported partially in the past, but I now created a separate ticket (#33094) for it.

Maurer P-2

Diaphragm control

Depending on the P-2 version, the desired diaphragm range (A, B or C) is set on the camera body or is

determined by the selected shutter speed. In the last case, a coupling between shutter speed and

diaphragm determines the diaphragm range (see tables below). Remote setting of the aperture within

the preselected range (bright, hazy, dull) is possible with the use of the diaphragm control selector

switch. An Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) system isavailable as well (not shown).

Here's what I could find for you:

Could it be that it's just been mislabelled in the sim and it should say "BRIGHT" instead of "MODE 1"?

The only pics I can find aren't very clear,

But even in these unreadable pics, you can still tell the circuit breakers weren't labelled "F1", "F2", and "F3".

It looks like we would have to get the camera fitted as a load out option as well.

Camera panel textures:

• Rotary switch now has the correct labels "BRIGHT", "HAZY" and "DULL".
  
• Camera lens switch now has the missing "CAMERA LENS" label below the switch
  
• I can't find good reference images for the filters. "F1" was changed to "MAIN", but I don't know what "F2" (looks like three letters) and "F3" (looks like two words) should say. Who can help?
