[1.5.4 OB] BR switch activates 'V' light

[nomdeplume]

BR switch activates the "V" light under the RWR when in the 'on' position, instead of the BR light. When in the 'test' position the "BR" light blinks as expected but the "V" light remains lit.

 

By the way... what does the "V" light indicate, anyway?

Not a bug

I noticed that the ECM mode was in standby in 1.5.4. After I switched the knob to the square the Brouilleur light came on as normal.

 

I think the V light is for standby, "veille."

BR switch: ECM Spirale system power on.

Rotatory; V: system stand-by ,Square: ECM On.

LL switch: it would power on flare/chaff dispensers. Not sure if it's implemented.

 

The ECM suit is WiP as Zeus said.

Okay, that makes some sense. I thought the BR indicator was the dispenser power, and LL was jammer switch (based on position and tooltip). But I do now vaguely recall something here being the wrong way around, and maybe that's not been fixed yet.

This is not a bug.

Rather a fix for previous incorrect implementation ;)

The only difference is the position of a switch when you load the simulation.

 

When you do a quick mission you have to...

 

turn on the radar

turn on the IFF

switch master-arm on

switch gun-arm on

 

...all before the Migs launch a missile up your butt.:doh:

 

Now I'll add powering on the ECM system.:music_whistling:

[Azrayen]

It could (should?) be powered already for in-flight start, like the RWR; didn't check.
