No, the formation knob only has an effect on the wingtip position lights when WING/TAIL is set OFF. Whenever WING/TAIL is set BRT or DIM the formation knob has no effect over those lights. That's correct behavior.

Does anyone, hopefully with real life experience, know the external lighting switch and knob positions for startup, taxi, takeoff, inflight, etc.? Maybe this will help me to better understand. Thank you!

Again, all I'm saying that's how it works right now; Wags even mentions that's how it works in his November video. If it's wrong, talk to the team.

The team says that the new liquid lens has a simpler structure and better stability than existing liquid lenses. Some require insulating layers between the electrode and the liquid, while others such as Xiaomi’s use tiny motors to manipulate their shape. Without those, the DBA lens should be easier to integrate into smartphones, cameras, endoscopes, and other lenses.

In your normal daytime configuration, the formation light that illuminates the vertical stabilizer would be on...is this correct and normal operation?

Can someone explain why this is and also give an in depth explanation on how these switches should be positioned for startup, taxi, takeoff, and during flight?

From what I am reading, when the MASTER knob is in NORM, the FORM knob should control the formation lights brightness and turn them off...this is not the case in DCS.

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Before the engine starts: Position flash and strobes as briefed. Exception is night (ground stationary, rejoin, tanker) where position may be steady and strobe may be off. Normal daytime is: A/C pattern per your airplane, FLASH, BRT, BRT, refueling/formation off, master NORM.

At first glance, I would take each external lighting switch/knob at face value as they are labeled, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anti-Collision Light (1; top of tail) On and patterns for power supply setting #1 selectable by ANTI COLL knob. Flashes visible in master NORM and COVERT FORM otherwise flashes covert in COVERT A/C and COVERT ALL.

The covert master options are various combinations of covert and visible. The strobe and formation halves of the lighting can either be half covert or both.

But liquid lenses are more flexible, allowing them to shift between all of these focal lengths easily. Liquid lenses themselves are nothing new – tech companies have been promising their arrival in consumer electronics since at least 2004 – but the first one only made it to market last year, in Xiaomi’s Mi Mix phone.

All AR lights enabled with AIR REFUEL switch and variable intensity with AERIAL REFUELING knob in all modes. All AR lights are not NVIS compatible.

The problem right now is with the FORM knob. When the MASTER knob is set to NORM and WING/TAIL, FUSELAGE both set to BRT, the FORM knob should control the intensity of all formation lights from off to bright.

Master COVERT ALL or COVERT FORM: STEADY or FLASH as above. BRT all upper position lights covert bright. DIM all upper position lights covert dim. OFF all position lights off. Lower wingtip position lights are off regardless of BRT/DIM/OFF setting.

The new liquid lens, developed by researchers at Hefei University of Technology, is designed to be simpler than existing tech. The key ingredient is a fluid known as dibutyl adipate (DBA), which has an electronegative molecular structure. That means that its shape will change when a direct current is applied to it.

Just saying, that's how it's working at the moment. If you think it's wrong and have something that says otherwise, send it to BIGNEWY, Nineline or Wags to confirm.

Existing lenses are solid, and while they work well, they have a limited range of focal lengths. That’s why modern smartphones are packing in two, three, four or more lenses lately, specialized for macro, wide-angle, or telephoto shots.

I don't use formation lighting at all during the day and I don't think real squadrons do either. There's no point since they'd not be visible compared to the sun. I looked at some videos and the closest I found was the tail flash lights on at Osan which wasn't night but it wasn't midday sun either. I'm sure light policy is a squadron/wing/base thing so might vary.

The lens was created by filling a ring-shaped electrode with this DBA liquid. Because the electrode is coated with a water-repelling layer, the surface of the liquid forms a dome shape. When a voltage is applied to it, the DBA molecules gather at one end of the tube, changing the dome and, as a result, the focal length of the lens. When the electric field is removed, the liquid returns to its original shape.

Master NORM or COVERT A/C: WING/TAIL BRT or DIM and STEADY or FLASH sets all position lights to bright steady, bright flash, dim steady, or dim flash. When WING/TAIL set to OFF wingtip position intensity set by FORM knob and all other position lights are off.

Master COVERT ALL or COVERT FORM ventral formation light is off, dorsal formation light is covert on. Formation covert lights are not variable intensity.

The FUSELAGE POSITION lights switch does not control the fuselage position lights located on each side of the engine intake.

The covert master options are various combinations of covert and visible. The strobe and formation halves of the lighting can either be half covert or both.

Is there any proof or something to back up that the taxi/landing light is correct? Seems illogical to use such a narrow focused light for landing, while the wide beam for taxi illuminates better. Maybe its just a DCS thing, but that doesn't seem very well engineered with what we got now.

Researchers in China have developed a new type of adaptive liquid lens that changes its focal distance when a voltage is applied. Made using a new electrically responsive fluid, the lens is small, lightweight, and could be easily manufactured for use in smartphones and other cameras.

In tests, the liquid lens was able to change its focal length from 7.5 mm to 13.1 mm, as the voltage was increased from zero to 100 V. Its resolution was almost 29 lines per millimeter, and it could allow about 95 percent of visible light through. The liquid lens also performed well in a range of temperatures, between 20 and 100 °C (68 and 212 °F).
