Ignition Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 What should I do when I've lost comb hyd pressure? Is there some way to recover some pressure? Is there some way to lower the landing gear and flaps maybe manually?
Airhunter Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Gear is right click for alt. release and you can use the emer. hydraulics for flight controls. The transfer pump should technically power the comb. system if there is still fluid, if there is none, you lost the system.
Ignition Posted October 11, 2019 Author Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks, it looks like I've always lost all the fluid. The last 3 times I've been shot I've lost the comb hyd pressure.
S. Low Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I posted in the bug section that the emergency gear and flaps aren't actually doing anything, and IronMike responded that the issue is known and on their list. I'm not sure about the hydraulic pump, but the other two emergency systems aren't working properly. As far as I know.
HawkeyeHHDF Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 The way it works is that each engine supplies hydraulic pressure to esch system, flight side is controlled by right engine and combined is controlled by the left. If either side falls below 2100 psi the bi directional pump will automatically kick on to try and maintain hyrdauilc pressure and keep the system operational. If the pressure falls below 500 psi for more than a few seconds it will turn the pump off. The backup mod kicks on if both systems fall below 2100 psi . The landing gear has a pneumatic emergency blow down if the handle is pulled out and lowered. The flap handle has a emergency down position but it was never functional to my knowledge, however the emergency up function was to get the aux flaps up .
