Maulkin Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sadly I have only just started to learn where most of you are already well into it but I am hoping some of you might be able to help a n00b :) 1) I am watching this video (at this point) and I see Wags perform an FCS bit test: But I am not able to hold down that FCS reset button and at the same time pull up on that switch....how does one do that? 2) I tried to set my course (CSEL) as Wags did at timestamp 14.24 but there does not appear to be a numeration in the HSI's lower right corner....I can set the HSEL however 3) Was watching this video here: and saw there appears to be additional position lights that I cannot turn on...am I missing a switch? 4) When I run the "Fire and Bleed Air test" switch, if I turn off the switch after it says "Engine fire left" and then press the switch again the words come out "Engine right fire" instead of "Engine fire right". But if I press and hold the switch it comes out as "Engine fire right".

Dronin87 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Sadly I have only just started to learn where most of you are already well into it but I am hoping some of you might be able to help a n00b :) 1) I am watching this video (at this point) and I see Wags perform an FCS bit test: But I am not able to hold down that FCS reset button and at the same time pull up on that switch....how does one do that? Hold "Y" or bind "Y" of you have a thrust module. #3 there is a Strobe switch hidden behind the throttle. visible when in full mil. #4 you need to wait 10 seconds between running them if i'm not mistaken.

Maulkin Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks Dronin! #3 I found that switch for the strobe light but that is not the lights I am referring to. If you watch closely in that video you will see additional position lights on the top and bottom surfaces of the wings. #4 yes I am aware of that. Alternatively you can reset the battery power. I just found it odd that the order of the words changed since the audio is generated by a tape....which would have made that impossible. --Maulkin Windows 10 64-bit - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 3.7 GHz - 32 GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM - EVGA FTW3 RTX 3080 - Asus Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard - Samsung EVO Pro 1 TB SSD - TrackIR 4 Pro - Thrustmaster Warthog - Saitek rudder pedals - Lilliput UM-80/C with TM Cougars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronin87 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I think the lights you're referring to then are the position lights? The dial next to beacon and formation lights. and I thought the same thing about Betty saying "engine right fire", but it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda967 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 You're supposed to hold the Fire Test Switch until it's done with its whole cycle. It does funky things if you don't.
