Su-33 airbrake indicator - despite what in real life, your opinion is matter

Sorry i mean on the right side.

And i´m posting those pics because is a SU-33 russian book, and the author said those are Su-33 Pics.

If they are not its fine.

The only thing is the firs cockpit pic, right side, has the buddy refueling indicator.

And the second pic, right side, is a different SPO-15 place.

Understood :)

All the photos on the left side of the pages are, but the ones to right are not.

Yes but the rest of the instrumentation is all Su-27.

I remembered seeing a photo of an Su-27UB in test markings refuelling an Su-33 at one point, so I searched for it again and found it at Zvezda's website(attached)......so the cockpit in question might actually be from that very aircraft :)

And the second pic, right side, is a different SPO-15 place.

Yes but there is not enough room for it on, what I call the "console bi-panel" in the Su-33 cockpit - partly because it is occupied by all sorts of other equipment and partly because it is narrower than on the Su-27. On the Su-33 the consoles are not sloping inwards like on the su-27, but are straight, which in turn means that the "bi-panel" has to be narrower(see attached images).

Thanks Alfa, Nice to read you as always.

Its mutual :)

Bump. Please reintroduce the airbrake lamp on the mechanical devices indicator :-)

I can't believe anyone thinks not having an indicator is an improvement; and I strongly doubt that the 33 is so structurally different to the 27 that the wires connecting the lamp to the airbrake no longer fit.

My guess is some overworked ground crew unplugged the airbrake lamp connector during maintenance and forgot to plug it back in. And so instead of admitting their mistake it's now a 'feature' of the Su-33.

Thanks to ED to support the opinion of the majority. Yellow airbrake light is back in open beta 1.5.8.12162.404 :-)

How's the autopilot?
