reported Interior cockpit light system

[luft]

Hello from Spain, first say that my knowledge base is the EF-18A MLU of the Spanish Air Force.

 

On the interior cockpit light system:

 

The countermeasure elbow pushbutton, Ground Power Control Panel, and the left and right essential circuit breakers should not have backlighting

 

The landing gear handle is not illuminated, nor does it perform the light test, nor when it indicates discrepancy between the position of the lever and the position of the landing gear, for example the transition of the landing gear up or down, unsafe landing gear, or unsafe landing. I do not know if the F / A18C has these types of visual indications in addition to the sound warnings

 

Thank you for all your work in bringing this plane to the DCS world… and sorry for my Google translator english

Interior light

 

When I say circuit breaker panel, I wanted to refer to the breakers themselves that do not have backlighting (numbers that indicate the amps to which they jump.)

You took these photos straight out of your hornet? Is it possible the newer model hornets have different cockpit lighting?

[luft]

Take pictures of a real hornet, EF-18A + MLU. I'm a hornet mechanic in the Spanish Air Force

Unclear is this is same for US Hornets, we will investigate thanks.

Wags, I am an electrician on the US Hornet C variant and none of them have backlighting as stated above.

I can confirm that DISP switch, left and right side circuit breakers (amps labels) and GND PWR control panel do not have backlighting in C-model. Same with the right side circuit breaker panel FCS BIT ON/OFF -text. This is a thin aluminium sticker in real life. There are backlit panels with texts FCS CHAN 1, FCS CHAN 2 etc on the L and R CB panels but the actual circuit breakers with number labels are not backlit.

 

 

EDIT:

Also the throttle cover plate MAX, MIL, IDLE and FRICTION are not backlit.

Hi! I am also an electrician of the plane. It was the first things I looked at, lights, GCUs, batteries ... XD Pleased to meet another colleague of the 420 and 440 system.

[uNABLE TO REPRODUCE] LDG Gear Handle not illuminated

 

Hi

 

I noticed that the landing gear handle does not show the illuminated red knob.

 

2.10.1.4 Landing Gear Warning Lights/Tone. The landing gear warning light is a red light in the gear handle. The light comes on when the gear is in transit and remains on until all three gear are down and locked when DN is selected, or all the gear doors are closed when UP is selected. The light remains on with the gear down and locked if the left or right main landing gear planing link is not locked. When the landing gear handle light has been on for 15 seconds the landing gear aural tone also comes on.

 

Either it does not show in VR or there is a bug.

[muehlema]

Unable to reproduce??? WTF. If you put the handle up, the red light is not there as described. So what is the problem of not being able to reproduce. It is not there, point, while it should. For me missing feature then.

How about the backlighting on the GEN TIE CONTROL panel? the word reset does not seem to be backlit.

Also the text ALE-39 RESET left of the ANT SEL panel, is that backlit?

And last, on the ALR-67 RWR panel, are the text and letters on the thin part backlit? (audio-dmr-dis type -f-u-a-i-n)

thank you in advance.
