Warning Panel Documentation?

[Pizzicato]

Hey guys,

 

Is there any documentation that explains what each of the warning lights means? I fly with the Russian cockpit, but there doesn't appear to be any explanation of the lights in the manual. That makes it a little unnerving when one of the little lights at the lower right of the front panel suddenly illuminates... :cry:

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Hey...

 

I don't have any documentation, but advising DCS World FC3 / SU-27 Complete English Cockpit Mod is only what I can do. :P :)

There's a thread on the forum that describes the function of practically every light (& most of the switches / gauges) in the Su-27 cockpit.

 

Sorry, don't have time to look for you..

Excellent. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Ironhand.

 

Unsurprisingly, my lack of knowledge almost got me killed last night. I was just landing after a long Ultimate Argument campaign mission, but the lower left light was on. Turns out I'd accidentally triggered the drogue chute in flight (I went to press the communcations key and hit P instead).

 

The end result was that I landed but then struggled to lose speed. I was still at +200kph when I reached the end of the runway, but just as I was about to hit the grass and explode, the "MISSION COMPLETE" message came up and I instinctively hit escape and quit the mission.

 

A bit of a lucky cheat on my behalf, but it reinforced the importance of knowing what all the little lights mean. :D

 

Thanks again for the help, guys.

I'm going to making a few videos on this question. Here is the first one:
