DanW Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 One more time slightly out of topic but I promise that next time I share some jet models.These are recent additions to my F-16 desktop pit. The Angle of Attack and Nose Wheel Steering/Aerial Refuel Indexer Lights. Made in aluminum and PVC. Painted with Dupli and Tamiya lacquers. Labels and nameplates printed on Techmod water slide decals (transparent and white). Thanks for watching. P.S. those nasty looking labels on the tops are nasty for purpose. I see the Air Forces around the globe use the scotch tape to place them. Not sure what are they for.

gb_madcat_sl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 That’s really cool. Will you be using it with the recently-announced DCS F-16 that’s slated to come out later this year? Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 That's pretty cool, they look awesome. The labels are there because every piece of equipment has a number assigned to it for various purposes ( tracking it, calibration, etc.) Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark I am using Falcon BMS which offers wonderful shared memory capability which means that every lamp implemented in the simulator code has a bit assigned that can be used to control external hardware like the LEDs used in my case. Not sure whether DCS has such capability. But for sure the DCS is superior over BMS from the graphics quality perspective and VR goggles support. So I for sure give it a try once released.

Matthew83128 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Man, just like the DED panel these are amazing. You'll need to break off one of the tabs on the dim lever to make them look authentic. Than I can spend a 12 hr shift searching the cockpit for a tiny piece of metal. 😉 Amazing work.
