Where is the switch or button for Fuel Dumping?

[Flia]

There is no one. At least in the cockpit.

F-5 does not have fuel dumping capabilities

Press

 

 

and then just fly with afterburners on for a minute. You should be running on fumes in no time.

F-5 does not need the dump nozzles, it has afterburners.

How sure are that this is the F-5E-3 and not hydraulic pipes?

This should explain the function of the pipe shown in the picture. From the F-5E flight manual:

What you see there is a vent, when the aircraft if being refueled, the fuel pushes air out this vent, it makes a snorting noise.

I've seen F-5s (both NF-5A and Swiss F-5E) where fuel comes out of this vent when flying inverted / under negative Gs.

It would be cool if this were modelled in DCS.
