fitness88 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Does anyone have an FC3/F-15 caution lights panel with readable description? I'd like it for my kneeboard. Thank you.
JINX_1391 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Not sure if you're looking for explanations for what each warn light means..but: Also remember that in our version (FC3 simulation) that some of the warn lights are used more for indicators than what they are used for IRL. For example in DCS F-15 when you engage auto pilot the AUTO PLT lights on the warn panel as an indication that auto pilot is engaged. IRL the AUTO PLT warn light would indicate a problem with the system - same for the ATTITUDE warn light.

fitness88 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks for the photo and the tip... it's funny, I was just about to post the exact same photo for others interested.
SinusoidDelta Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 FWIW here's some screenshots from the the F-15 general orientation manual
fitness88 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 SinusoidDelta this too looks very good, I'll see how it looks in the kneeboard. Just wondering as JINX_1391 mentioned, not everything that lights up in the F-15 means warning. Is there a list to indicate this/
JINX_1391 Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 AFAIK only AUTO PLT and ATTITUDE are used on the DCS F-15C warn panel as indicators. When AP is used (A then L-ALT + 1) the AUTO PLT warn light is lighted. Then, if BARO HOLD AP is selected (L-ALT + 4) the ATTITUDE warn light will light along with the AUTO PLT warn light. This is somewhat confusing as the L-ALT+1 command is for Attitude hold. :smartass: reference I found: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=123554 [sIGPIC]http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn266/JINX1391/jinx%20f99th%20sig_zps2hgu4xsl.png[/sIGPIC] "90% of the people who actually got to fly the F/A-18C module there (E3 2017) have never even heard of DCS or are otherwise totally undeserving pieces of trash." -Pyromanic4002

'A' must be on in order to enable 'H'. IvanK's link is saying what I'm saying but using different key commands. Edited May 3, 2017 by fitness88
SinusoidDelta Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks this is great stuff. You can probably find a better scan of the manual. Mine is pretty bad.

SinusoidDelta Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Hook? The F-15C had a tail hook at some point? Was a navalised version being considered? The eagle has a tail hook for arrestment in emergency landings. It's not functional in DCS. I'm not sure but it may have an animation argument if you check in model viewer.
ZEEOH6 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 The arresting hook is also how we attach the holdback tool to keep restrain the jet when doing burner runs. F-16's and F-22's have hooks too so it's not just a naval thing Alienware 17 R3: Intel i7 6820HK @ 4 GHz, 16 GB DDR4, GTX 980M, 1TB Samsung NVMe 951 SSD, AW Graphics Amplifier w/ GTX 1080, TM HOTAS Warthog, Oculus Rift CV1, Monstertech, MFG Crosswind, Jetseat KW-908
joey45 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 I'm not sure but it may have an animation argument if you check in model viewer. It works in the MV.. Maybe one day IF ED make Emergency Arrested stuff for runways then IT might be activated and used... until then there is no use for it. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
