Revientor Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I want to share this picture with you As you can see the ENTER button in the ICP is the doblue the height of the other ICP buttons As you can see in this DCS picture, right now it is not the correct heigh I know this is not even a inssue, but I love my F16 and I like all this small details :D
RaceFuel85 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I believe that is the F-16's HUD recorder flipped back and out of it's housing for work.
Deano87 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Good spot on the double height enter button though.

mvsgas Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I want to share this picture with you That is only found on updated A models. I do not know what it is. But if you see it, it normally means the photo is from an A model F-16. So you are comparing a A model (could be block 10 to 20) to the DCS F-16 block 50 after CCIP circa 2007. Yes, they are going to be different.

Nealius Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 You usually see those on the Euro Vipers, which I believe are all A models like Mvsgas said. I remember asking about it a long time ago and I seem to recall it was some kind of sensor for helmet-mounted tech. Automatically turning off NVGs when the pilot looks forward towards the HUD or something?
=Panther= Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I don't think the ENTER button is raised like that on USAF vipers. Give me a day and I'll get back with an update. EDIT: Check and it does have a raised ENTER button.

Revientor Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) here are some F16 icp picture, in theory realistic ones https://xflight.de/pe_org_par_cec_icp.htm To me looks the blk50 also have a taller enter button Edited May 19, 2019 by Revientor
=Panther= Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Confirmed that the ENTER button is slightly taller or extends further outwards than the other UFC buttons.

sniperpr1 Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 That circle/cylinder in the ICPs of the AM F-16s is what registers the movement of the HMCMS. It's only in the MLU A and B models since the C models have a different system of tracking the helmet.

In case your wondering how to tell it is an A model, look at the color of the Jettison system warning. Photo taken from here https://www.eielson.af.mil/News/Photos/igphoto/2000260132/ Here you can see both sensors, The one over the ICP and the JHMCS on the left side of the canopy. vRqbOvcmnO8 Some of the thing to note The sensor over the ICP The different VVI gauge The different master arm panel Different RPM gauge Notice how this ICP is different from the one in the First post as well, even tho both are A models Note the different UHF back up panel Edited May 20, 2019 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.
