Stall Warning & Peak Performance Adjustment Panel
Loading...
Lower section of the left console, just above the Anti-G and oxygen system area.
Provides audio volume adjustment for stall warning tone and calibration of the peak performance indicator system, which assists the pilot in maintaining optimum aircraft performance under high angle-of-attack conditions.
STALL VOL Knob — Adjusts the volume of the stall warning tone heard in the pilot’s headset. Turning clockwise increases the warning tone intensity.
PEAK PRFM Knob — Used by maintenance crews or pilots to calibrate or fine-tune the peak performance (AOA) system. Normally left in its preset detent during flight.
Recommended hardware (simpit)
2 × 10 kΩ rotary potentiometers with push-fit tactile knobs.
Optional shared encoder for fine digital calibration if connected to analog input (0–5 V).
Knobs: 12–15 mm diameter, flat-topped military gray style to match console aesthetic.
3 mm black matte acrylic faceplate with engraved white legends.
Standard 18 mm spacing between knob centers.
Mount directly above left-console side panels for ease of wiring to the main audio bus.
Indirect illumination from console floodlights only (no dedicated backlighting).
Notes (DCS-BIOS) Not implemented in the base DCS A-10C module, but can be simulated using analog potentiometers mapped to sound or warning light intensity in external cockpit controllers.
For immersive setups, map STALL VOL to a sound output gain channel and PEAK PRFM to an analog trim or placeholder function.
