Don't flip that switch! :-)

The Manual Revert-

Loss of all hydraulics, spin out of control, engine shutdown, crash! I'm sure there's a correct way / circumstance to use the MR, but it's wicked cool in a sim to be able to totally hose the airplane by clicking the wrong thing! :-)

Well, if you want to shut down your engines and can't be bothered flipping switches, just fly the aircraft upside down ;)

Pull the two engine fire handles mid flight and have a nice day.

MRFCS isn't modelled particularly well in DCS (opinion), for some reason when in MRFCS your stick inputs are translated as force applied to the controls rather than actual stick position which is terribly unintuitive . That makes it nigh on impossible to fly the aircraft unless you are beyond careful with your control inputs and look at the stick position in the virtual cockpit.

 

Fortunately (if you can call it that) as hydraulic failures aren't modelled, there is never really a reason to use MRFCS anyway.

What was a former Canadian Prime Minister flying an A-10 for anyway?

'cause she's darn cute and the ground crew just couldn't say "NO" :thumbup:

Not sure what you mean, perhaps that the pumps keep the hyd pressure up (sic!) while the engines are windmilling?

That and that battle damage won't cause a hyd system failure, even if an entire control surface is separated from the aircraft.

 

Hyd system failures should be one of the most common types of system failure resulting from battle damage. However they are essentially unheard of.

So this is also the reason for never ending fluid trails, that don't affect anything (neither a fuel loss, nor any controll failure)?

Argued this issue in mantis and was always ignored. Hydraulics don't bleed off fast enough when shutting engines down either.

Thanks for the info on that. Didn't now ED was beeing sloppy on such things, but I guess they have their priorities as well.

A pitty though.

I wouldn't say sloppy, difference of opinion is more like it.

So now I have to place an asterisk next to all of my heroic recoveries?

[Sceptre]

Yeah, like how you can fly an A-10 in DCS with the wing on fire and nothing will happen....
