F-16C Viper

Basic support: a switchable CDU showing the DED, a NAV page, or the RWR. The console brightness is shared with front panels for lighting only.

Supported devices

Device What it shows
CDU (MCDU / PFP3N / PFP7 / PFP4) DED / NAV / RWR pages, Master Caution LED
FCU + EFIS / PAP3 Brightness only (no flight data is published)
AGP32 Gear position lights + warning, brightness

CDU display

The CDU shows one of three pages at a time; switch with the configured keys:

  • DED (default) — the Data Entry Display.
  • NAV — navigation page.
  • RWR — radar-warning receiver page.

Defaults: PrevPage → DED, NextPage → NAV, LineSelectRight1 → RWR. All three keys are configurable in the options.

Brightness / lighting

  • Display brightness follows the data-display brightness knob.
  • Backlight brightness follows the primary consoles brightness knob.
  • The console brightness is also forwarded to front panels so they dim with the cockpit.
  • Use the global "Disable lighting management" option to opt out.

AGP32

The AGP32 gear panel shows live gear-position and warning data:

AGP32 LED Meaning
Gear 1 (left) green Left main gear down-and-locked
Gear 2 (nose) green Nose gear down-and-locked
Gear 3 (right) green Right main gear down-and-locked
UNLK triangles (all three) + red arrow Gear in transit / warning

The gear lights remain visible even when cockpit console brightness is at zero.

Front panels

FCU/EFIS and PAP3 only receive console brightness — no speed/heading/altitude is published — so they dim with the cockpit but stay otherwise idle.

Notes

  • Display-mode keys can be remapped in the Options panel.
