[2.9.15.9599] Pressing warning lights test button does not illuminate MASTER CAUTION in other cockpit

[Stickler]

NAVAIR 01-245FDD-I, 10-14, contains the following question in the NATOPS test question bank:

"111. Actuation of the warning lights test switch by the RIO will illuminate the pilot's master caution light. T I F".

According to my research, neither NAVAIR 01-245FDD-I nor TO 1F-4E-1 contain a definitive answer whether the above statement is true or false.

The statement that comes closest is the following:

This would seem to indicate that whenever the front cockpit MASTER CAUTION light illuminates, the rear cockpit light will illuminate as well. It is not clear whether the reverse is also true, but it would appear logical if it were.

In the game, actuating the warning lights test switch in the rear cockpit will illuminate the WSO's MASTER CAUTION light, but will not NOT illuminate the pilot's MASTER CAUTION light, and vice versa.

Thus, the current implementation is not necessarily incorrect, but as a low priority item it might be worth checking the wiring diagrams.

How did you determine this? In multicrew with a human pilot and a WSO?

Or by sitting in the rear seat and moving your head so you can see the front area from behind?

Or by binding the WSO switch to the pilot controls and clicking them from the front magically?

Or by sitting in the WSO seat and going external view (F2)?

The first option is correct.
