Hi,

 

The devices are listed on the file \F14|Cockpit\devices.lua

Here is an Excel sheet with the same data:

That's useful list, thanks!

 

I have a slightly different question - I am looking for DCS IDs for some lamps or indicators (not buttons) in RIO's cockpit....but for the life of me I can't find them?!

It doesn't seem to have any ... you will have to use the X:COCKPIT HIGHLIGHT POINT action instead, like this:

 

 

X, Y and Z define the point inside the cockpit where the highlight will be placed. BOX DIM X, Y and Z define the size of the box and its orientation, on this example BOX Y is zero, that means the highlight has a horizontal orientation.

 

While it seems like a lot of work, actually only the first one is hard to find by trial-error .. other nearby points are much easier to find. Once you find a point, you can document it, so that on the next mission it will be easier. For example this is my documentation for the points that I use on the A-4E:

 

 

Best regards,

Thanks for this, I might give it a go.

 

I found some lamp DCS IDs in another thread (for radar mode button lights), so it seems like they can be found....
