INTEGRATED CONTROL PANEL & DATA ENTRY DISPLAY
The ICP is the main interface to most systems in the F-16. Many parts of it have no function in FSX or are
classified but we were able to include a lot of the functionality. The DED shows the information selected
on the ICP on 5 lines of 25 characters.
ENTERING DATA
When you need to enter data you will first need to select
the correct line using the Cursor Movement switch. The
active line is shown with an * at the beginning and the end.
When you select the correct line enter the new data with
the ICP Numeric Keys and confirm with the ENT key. When
you made a mistake you can clear the whole line with the
RCL key. On some screens (BINGO and WAYPOINTS) the two
way switch left of the Cursor Movement switch can be used.
CAGE FLIGHT PATH MARKER
When this switch is activated the Flight Path Marker and everything attached to it (ILS needles, AoA
bracket and Pitch ladder) is caged. This means there is little or no left or right movement, this stabilized
mode makes it easier to use these HUD elements.
Note: in that mode, the HUD accurately shows climb / dive angle, and AoA. What is NOT accurate now is
the flight path marker with respect to the outside world, especially in azimuth. In other words the
absolute link between the flight path marker and the scenery is lost. Deviation between HUD horizon
and the visible scenery horizon will be greatest when AoA, sidelip, and angle of bank are high.
