DCS F-16 cockpit looks photorealistic, better than any other sim I played in the past !!!

Having said that, there are some tweaks needed to make it more realistic.

I am well aware of the single bug report per thread rule, but all those are related and probably will be fixed by the same 3D developer.

 

1. CMDS panel:

Needs to look like this:

 

CMDS.jpg.396f03e3fdd35e2730756d6e68c29979.jpg

 

So the MODE and PRGM switches are not of the exact same type.

 

2. HUD remote panel:

 

DCSHUD.thumb.jpg.7718589b37005fc96dda776fd8aacb49.jpg

 

The top left switch upper label looks like "W".

It should look like this:

 

HUD.jpg.b79ccef78cc35d09b10a974882089d99.jpg

 

So its clear it is "VV" and not "W".

 

3. IFF panel:

 

DCSIFF.thumb.jpg.bbaa42ffe7e3bc0a6cbcfe3a8476a7d0.jpg

 

Needs to look like this:

 

IFF.jpg.a18088e18164d831e1e7a067491e8184.jpg

 

So the MASTER switch is a totally different kind of switch from the entire cockpit.

 

4. Stick:

Is missing the boot used to protect agains FOD trapped between the stick grip and the force transducer. A frequent cause for out of control.

It needs this rubber boot added:

Which after installation on the stick, looks like this:

5. TEST panel:

 

DCSTEST.thumb.jpg.0d8698b840073b3e6b489e05d1aae4cc.jpg

 

Notice the line below the PROBE HEAT and EPU/GEN switches.

Should look like that:

 

TEST.jpg.5879c13151e0124f86601fec6a4dd01b.jpg

 

So no line. That line is only for F-16D models where another switch needs to be there so the line is a functional separator.

 

6. Right eye-brow warning lights (during MAL & IND LTS test to see the labels):

 

DCSWARNING.thumb.jpg.153c02019cd2ad93ce07092ef4ea3708.jpg

 

Notice how each lamp housing is divided in the middle to 2 different lights.

 

It should be like this:

 

WARNING.jpg.6c26dc53b8aab1c4488f19808fee9360.jpg

 

So the HYD OIL PRESS and TO/LDG CONFIG lamp housings should not have separation lines because it is considered a single warning light each.
