[Known issue] Wrong colors on External stores emergency release button

[Rudel_chw]

Hi,

It's a small detail, but I believe the colors of the cover interior are inverted, the interior lip should be black, while the rest of the interior should be yellow.

 

 

I'm not a SME, but the manual of the real aircraft says:

"A black painted lip extends into the switch guard approximately 9/16 inch. Below this lip the switch is painted yellow. The pilot cannot see yellow paint inside the guard unless the button is depressed to the RELEASE position."

 

Its a small detail for sure, but hopefully its easy to fix. Best regards,

 

Eduardo

Another bug regarding this button, is that it works even if the aircraft is cold on the ramp. I pushed it during the pre-checks and my under-wing drop tanks were gone with a "thud" noise (breaking immersion, the tanks just dissapeared instead of laying there on the ground). The manual of the real aircraft says that this button should only be operative under the following conditions:

 

"The button is operative under the following conditions: the aft
emergency extension gear handle in the normal (IN)
position and the forward gear handle in the up position, or
the aft emergency extension gear handle in the normal
(IN) position and the weight off the landing gear (left main
gear scissors switch closed). "

 

I'm attaching a track file, and here is a video showing the issue:

 

 

Not a big deal, but still ...

Interesting.
Here's the one from the March Field Jet as well as 37+36 in Slovakia.
So when pressed the inside of the housing should be yellow if I understand correctly
