With everything being in acronyms anyway I don't really see the point in an English cockpit mod....or maybe I'm just weird because I remember switch functions by their location/switch position and not by their labels.

@gospadin:

 

Nice, but are you aware Razbam is probably doing the same thing? I don't like work done for nothing. Perhaps coordination? I'll leave it there, not my concern, just a thought.

 

The exterior lights should have 3-position switches (bug for now in DCS). Off / Dim / Bright.

I feel Pelles should be translated as Scoops; the auxilliary inlets themselves are spring-loaded, the scoop is actuated to force the airflow through the lower auxilliary inlets in certain conditions (high alt/mach/AoA).

Just as an observation, I'm using the English labels in the Ka-50 because it's easier to remember for me, but I found a little unsettling to have the Russian labels in the manual and having to find the English corresponding ones in the cockpit.

 

It could be the same problem here for people who don't speak French. I'm not sure what is the best way to organize that in the manual, but it's probably worth thinking about. Perhaps the label in the same language as the manual, and between parentheses the original one?

I know its WIP, but regarding Landing Lights:

 

At the moment you have: OFF-TAXI-LANDING

Should be TAXI-OFF-LANDING

 

;-)

 

Anyway, at the moment I find that the mirage has not so many switches. So if you playing around with the cockpit (about 2-3 hours), you know the things behind the switches. A MiG21 only in russian would be horrible :lol:

 

Nevertheless it looks great.

No.

OFF-TAXI-LANDING is correct.

TAXI-OFF-LANDING is a bug in the current beta.

Yes, I am aware. I just wanted to see if I could do one. As soon as the official one is available, I'll stop using my own version.

I had it translated as scoops originally but it just looks funny, inlet sounds more "military".

 

As to the 2 versus 3 position switches, I thought it was something like that but didn't know that was a confirmed bug, so I just did off versus on. Everything in my cockpit is done as a mask layer and an overlay layer, so it's trivial to fix once we have working 3-position light switches.

Don't you mean "slats"?

 

Litteral translation would be

Pelles = Scoops

Souris = Mice

 

But the translation you suggested seems correct to me, using aircraft terms and not litteral ones:

Pelles = Slats

Souris = Cones

 

Perhaps, except "BECS" is slats throughout the manual.

 

An earlier version had pelles = scoops, souris = cones, becs = slats, but I just thought scoops looked silly as I said. (Too many ice cream references)

I got mixed up and deleted my comment, sorry, please dismiss it, terms are all wrong.

Excited for this! I will definitely update the Helios profile I'm working on to have the English cockpit. This combined with key commands that are being figured out and I should be able to give it full working switches...now if someone knows how to make gauges lol
