AAR switch- is it a 3 states or a 2 states switch?

[BarTzi]

At the moment its a two states switch, but the writing next to the switch implies its a 3 states switch. (Arret, rvt j, rvt n).

[ZHeN]

what's RVT J and RVT N anyway ?

[myHelljumper]

Ravitaillement jour (day refueling), ravitaillement nuit (night refueling).

[ZHeN]

what's the difference ?

[Whisper]

Probably some lighting somewhere :)

[Azrayen]

Exactly.

 

It's WIP. Texture has been updated.

Code not yet.

[ZHeN]

wait, there's already a refuel light ... should we expect some other lighting ?

[BarTzi]

Exactly.

Thanks for the info :) I was asking because it is said to be a 3 stage switch in the campaign (mission 3 - AAR training).

 

@ZHeN - the difference between the states is that in 'ravitaillement nuit' (night refueling) the AAR lightning should turn on.

 

If that's the case, and the switch is going to be a 3 state one, what's going to happen to the AAR lightning switch?

[Azrayen]

wait, there's already a refuel light ... should we expect some other lighting ?

Because the "refuel light" switch from current DCS should not be a refuel light switch.

Look at the (tiny) (and correct) texture text next to it: "SERPAM".

=> Système d'Enregistrement et de Restitution des PAramètres de Mission.

=> Mission Parameters Recording and Restitution System = That's a kind of FDR.

 

It's WIP. Texture has been updated.

Code not yet.

Dear Azrayen,

 

I understood nothing :)

[Whisper]

In short, RAZBAM has used so far a switch for the Refuel Light that is not IRL the switch for Refuel Light. The 3 position AAR switch is the correct implementation

[ZHeN]

ah ok, so there's no refuel light switch at all ?

[Whisper]

There is, but it's currently on the wrong switch.

[Azrayen]

No refuel light switch per se indeed, IRL.

 

Only a refuel switch: off/day/night

Day = "simple" refuel

Night = refuel + refuel lights

 

There is a intensity knob too, for the probe tip light, but not functionnal ATM.
