rallisport Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 After coldstarting with a double check of the checklist, I'm experiencing a DC generator failure after about 15 to 20 minutes of flight. I haven't tried this yet but it just popped up in my head, should I turn the gpu off after the engine is started? Is this happening to anyone else?

rallisport Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'll have to wait till I get off from work. Do I just paste the track file into the message box as an attachment? I've never done this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleFox Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yep you need to shut it down. Its just there to start the main engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBlue Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I,m sorry guys, I meant the apu, not gpu. It doesn't have an APU, it has an DC starter-generator & it should be still on after engine start, APU in the manual is misleading. i7 8700k@4.7, 1080ti, DDR4 32GB, 2x SSD , HD 2TB, W10, ASUS 27", TrackIr5, TMWH, X-56, GProR.

ESAc_matador Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Did you put the inverters on?. It seems that you are flying on Batteries... It takes about 15_25 minutes to empty depending on how much do you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallisport Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thanks for the comments fellas. I figured out that the failure was just for that mission. I'm really enjoying this mig. It just got me back into dcs.....well it and the 109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcheus Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 It doesn't have an APU, it has an DC starter-generator & it should be still on after engine start, APU in the manual is misleading. Wait, what? so the APU switch, next to the fire extinguished switch, which shows APU as a tooltip, isn't an APU? I noticed the engine doesn't instantly fail when you turn this switch off, is that modeled incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Wait, what? so the APU switch, next to the fire extinguished switch, which shows APU as a tooltip, isn't an APU? I noticed the engine doesn't instantly fail when you turn this switch off, is that modeled incorrectly? No it isnt APU, its a DC Starter-generator. When starting it is used to spool up the engine and in this mode it uses batery power. When engine is up and running it changes its fiunction to gerate DC power for electric systems. Edit: I dont know what Starter-generator is used on R-25, but on R-13 it was GSR-ST-12000VT. Edited March 28, 2015 by Golo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
