Some warning lights seem adjustable

[Iron Sights]

I noticed some of the warning lights have what appears to be an adjustment. You get the circle with the arrow when you hover over them, nothing happens, as expected, but just bringing it up. Also the accelerometer does not reset when you press the button.

Noticed this also.

To sum up, this is for the following lights:

• Airbrake light
• Nose wheel steering light
• Combat flaps light
• jammer detection
• C+M or SW R light right

Hi, I read somewhere some of the lights are testable (ie light up when pressed). Might be those?

The point here is, you can turn them via mouse wheel which should increase / decrease intensity.

That's probably an error, as the manual of the real F1 does not state that these lights are actually adjustable on the lamp itself, instead they are adjustable with one of the lighting rheostats (the one on top of the day/night lever) ... that knob (on the night position)  dims these lights: Airbrake, LIM, Fire, Emergency Regulation, AB and NWS.

The lamps are defined as "default_button_axis" on the clickabledata.lua file, but it seems that's a mistake and they should be defined just as buttons.

Okay, low prio items, but should be noted.

These are the details I like in the C-101, where the three marker indicator lights work this way.

Just an update.

Day position of the switch, lights bright:

 

night position and dimmed:

As you stated, only thing is the option to turn it, which could be removed. But don't know, maybe that's the same on the real plane, cause they used the same type of lamp with dimmer, but connected them differently, so dimming is not on the lamp itself, but you can turn it

Yes, maybe, but only a real F1 pilot would know that kind of detail, as it would not show on the manual ... we will have to trust the Subject Matter Experts that Aerges has consulted for this Module  ... I'm kind of amazed that there is another DCS user besides me,  interested on this kind of details ... most never bother with the cabin checks part of the Procedure
