JCook Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 On the starboard side of the aircraft their is a black "nose" on the front of the airframe that houses the landing wheel. The port side is not black. Is there some signigficance? Possibly some instrumentation on the starboard side? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomdeplume Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It's the IFF receiver. Briefly mentioned in the flight manual on page 44: The two main gears are partially covered by the wells and the gear retract forward into them. The forward end of the left wheel well housing contains the single point refueling receptacle. The corresponding right wheel well end is colored black and houses the IFF receiver. But IFF isn't modeled in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucic Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) It seems that both contain some equipment but the black painting on the right hand side suggests a dielectric cover usually covering some antenna Edited January 9, 2011 by Bucic https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucic Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That on the left (aircraft left...not yours ;) )is the refueling point and refueling panel I know. And I pointed that the left one is not empty either. https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRidgeDx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The radome on the right main landing gear pod is for the glideslope antenna. The picture of the left gear pod shows the single-point pressure refueling panel and receptacle. "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col.
