Tholozor Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Encountered this problem while executing the Functional Checkflight procedure in the NATOPS manual, managed to break it down and find a culprit. Normal engine start (Cold, problem does not manifest in hot start) FCS RESET Flaps to AUTO [*]Shut down right engine Wait until full spool-down and R AMAD PR caution [*]BATT SW to OFF (RDDI should be out) [*]BATT SW to ON (wait for RDDI) [*]Restart right engine (crossbleed or APU) [*]Attempt FCS BIT - After BATT SW cycle, MC2 will show NOT RDY on BIT page. - After FCS BIT time-out, BIT page will show FCSA and FCSB as RESTRT, and all control surfaces no longer respond to stick/rudder input, flaps switch, or FCS Reset button. - FCS indicator for the starboard LEF will freeze at last value, but portside LEF will become physically stuck. - FCS Exerciser can be ran successfully, but control surfaces and FCS page will return to previous frozen positions and values once complete.FCS_brick_test.trk 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbies2003 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hrm wonder if this ties in with what I see on the 18 for FCS BIT checks. It is fairly common for me to have to do the FCS BIT test twice as doing it once will go through BIT but it will show the RESTRT you are seeing after the first one is done. Doing another BIT I will see SF TEST and then GO after the BIT is done. I see that on normal starts without cycling battery or engines and as stated it is very common to have to do the BIT twice for it to show GO.

dorianR666 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) this is still present in current OB happened after i shut down and restarted left engine, instead of right engine as OP says.

dorianR666 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) hi i recreated it here lef_bug2.trk the difference between LEFs is some 8 degrees and the plane is rolling on its own. btw, is it correct that the AOA box always shows -99.9 no matter what? whats the purpose of that?
