atsmith6 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi When I turn on ground power and throw all four ground power switches I seem to be able to turn everything on except the UFC. I need to use the radios on either ground or battery power because I fly with an online wing which requires ATC communications and that we request startup prior to engine start. We use UniversRadio which takes it's frequencies from the radio settings, and those I need to select using the UFC radio controls. Any idea how to get the UFC up on ground power? For context I have tried both with and without battery power. Many thanks in advance A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 You need to use: • (1) Switch EXT PWR on RESET (right click) The Battery disconects automatically. • (2) Switches GND PWR 1, 2 and 4 on position "B ON" In particular, the UFC should be on SW 2 B ... I'm not at home now, so this is according to the manual.

MadCat1381 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Last time I tried, the radio in the hornet ran on battery with the frequency set on preset 1 in the mission editor. The only thing is, that the UFC is not running, so you can't see the setting or change it. It was dicussed somewhere in the forum befor. But if I remeber correctly, this is a fallback in the real jet too, if you loose AC power to have some sort of communication left. Easiest way is to set the ATC frequency in the mission editor to channel 1 and you should be able to contact ATC with only battery power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo52 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 IRL if the hornet loses power comm 1 will still work but only on the last channel it was on. The UFC will have no display. As for the display on the UFC not working with ground power applied did you turn up the brightness knob on the right side of the UFC? You'd be amazed how many times I've had to ask pilots this at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 If you duck down a bit in the cockpit you can read a handy chart on the left cockpit wall that tells you which system needs which ground power switch to be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
