Author Topic: P38L: Dive flap indicator? (Read 361 times)

In previous versions the P38L instrument panel had a light to indicate activation of the dive flaps.

I can't find it any more. Was it eliminated? Or moved to some obscure place? Or replaced with some other kind of indicator?

Or what?

Regards,

There's also a red 'knob' on the left side of the yoke that moves when you extend/retract the dive brakes.

Hmmm... I see the red "knob" but it doesn't move at all when I select the dive brake. I do however see a faint yellow llight (just barely) by the ammo counter.

All the Best...

It's there Doc, but the range of movement is fairly small. From default position press F8 and look down then press shift c, you'll see it move. I actually find it easier to see than the faint yellow light.
