Why the F16'S ICP buttons has no animaton effect in the BMS 433 ?
-
When press ICP button, it can’t move to be pressed, it’s reduces the reality feel !
-
Because it required to double all button (one pressed and one unpressed state) for nothing since the button doesn’t move that much IRL. Then, unnecessary polygon for little advantage (if not nothing).
-
t’s reduces the reality feel !
Have you ever pressed the buttons of a real ICP? It’s 1mm or less difference between pushed and unpushed… I’d say the way it’s now come closer to reality feel then when one would see a clear difference.
-
there is only one way to get the real effect anyway …
build an ICP replica -
…yup…what RD said.
-
+1.
That and mfd’s. I never fly without them. -

Yup, there are different level in this illness

Sorry, but if you’re too busy watching ICP button animations and feel that it ruins your experience, you’re focusing on the wrong things.

Really? I always thought the ICP have a LONG keytravel so the pilot won’t accidentially press the wrong buttons (i imagine an viper cockpit can be a shaky place to make keypad inputs so a longer travel helps to prevent that.
-
Not at all.
The gap between the button and a physical separation are enough.
-
Video of replica in use at 5:30.
-
BTW what is a dent between 2 and 5, two dents between 6 and 9? what are they for?
-
The knobs on the fingerguard are just detents so the pilot knows where his fingers are in the dark.
Like the small knobs on your keyboard on “F” and “J”

-
Yeah but IRL, the travel are short, very short ;).

Just to back up the point FocalDesign and Amraam are correct on the “throw” or distance the button travels to register a push. You can feel it happen but there really isn’t any visual indication at the key itself. Only the modified display and the feel let you know you have pushed it.
