EXT LIGHTS PANEL
All external lights are controlled by this panel.
MASTER - Main power switch for all external lights
ANTI COL - Toggles strobe light (top of vertical tail)
WING/TAIL - Toggles navigation lights (wingtips, tail, and engine inlet)
FUSELAGE - Toggles formation lights (top, bottom)
FLASH/STEADY – inop
AERIAL REFUEL - inop
NORM/BRIGHT - Logo Lights (Formation lights)
The formation lights are supported by the logo lights in flight (see below). Please note that FSX has a
very nasty bug with lights that makes it impossible to position them accurately. Lights MOVE in relation
to the center of the model when your view position moves. This is a limitation that could not be
circumvented. Also note that the logo lights are done as in standard FSX aircraft and are linked to the
panel lights. This could not be avoided.
FLT CONTROL PANEL
The F-16 has a semi automated flaps system that
controls both Leading Edge Flaps (LEF) and
Trailing Edge Flaps (TEF). Under normal conditions it is
controlled by the Flight Computers. It is however
possible to manually extend the Trailing Edge Flaps
with the Alternate Flaps switch and to ‘lock’ the
Leading Edge Flaps. Locking them simply means they
are not controlled by the system and stay in the
position they were in when the switch was set to LOCK.
The automated flap settings are shown here.
LE FLAPS LOCK - Locks Leading Edge Flaps in
current position
ALT FLAPS EXTEND - Trailing Edge Flaps extend
to 20°
