      Hi, I just started BMS, what is this lever and how do I get it out of the way of the console switches?

      Every tutorial I’ve watched has people looking over & under the lever to toggle the switches, my trackir z-axis movements causes motion sickness so I can’t really see the switches underneath the lever.

        Adjustable forearm/elbow rest.

          Thanks! Is there a key to fold it? Or do I just have to live with it.

            Sorry I’m speaking from RL experience. Every airplane I ever got it, the elbow rest was simply adjusted up or down to fit the pilot. Otherwise we’d simply move our head to look around it, it doesn’t fold out of the way like you want it to.

                In the sim it doesn’t and you have to adjust your head around it but also speaking from RL experience it can be moved out of the way in the real F-16.

                  Hey thanks…and it obviously makes sense for pulling boxes/control heads from the console…my bad. I did see the wristrest extended ONCE. Cheers
