F-16 ICP/DED strange backlight behaviour


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've noticed some strange behaviour with the DED screen on the ICP: When I turn ECM switch 1 to the off position it also turns the DED backlight off, I've attached a video showing the behaviour. It happens with power to the jet and without power and I don't have ECM switch 1 mapped to anything anywhere.

 

Does this happen for anyone else?

THIS IS A STUPID PERSON'S GUESS

Each command in DCS is attached to a number, the one for button 1 on the ECM in the F-16C is is "460": (from DCS' own scripting)
elements["PTR-ECM-BTN-1-460"]            = default_2_position_tumb(_("ECM 1 Button"),                            devices.ECM_INTERFACE, ecm_commands.OneBtn, 460)

Number "460" in the FA-18C is (according to popular external script DCS-BIOS):
defineFloat("CONSOLE_INT_LT", 460, {0, 1}, "Internal Lights", "Console Lightning (light green)")

So my untested guess is that there's leftover code from the FA-18 MIP panels and simapppro is receiving and acting on some kind of lights off command.

If its not just you then definitely worth raising a ticket with WW, they can be fast about these things sometimes.
