Golo Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi, Ive tested startup from cold, and when I had right engine up I air cranked left engine to 3000psi hydr. pressure (with with hydr transfer pump off), then returned crank switch to neutral watched LH hydr pressure drop a little to see a decrease and switched the hydr. tranfer pump back on. But to my surprise it did not led to rise in LH hydr. pressure. Hydr. transfer pump had no effect and LH hydr pressure went to 0. Im pretty sure it was working OK before patch, Its not a anything major, just can you have a look at it? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golo Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just a little update. Pump is still not working from cold start for me, but I went ahead and flown a practice flight. After I landed and as I was shutting off left engine, I left the hydr. transfer pump on and pressure held at 3000psi, then I swithed the pump off and pressure dropped as it should, after reengaging the pump pressure went back up to 3000psi. Ive cycled it few times and it worked OK as it should. Might do something with not be able to remove ground power in cold startup in 2.5.6 maybe? Only way now is just to move the plane to screams of plane captain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golo Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Disregard, pump operation is correct as is. Edited February 22, 2020 by Golo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestandskraft Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I am not exactly sure if this is the same problem, but: Game manual, p. 348. After step 13. ENG CRANK switch to L (Left engine), pressure having reached 3000 psi, and setting the ENG CRANK switch back to off: When executing step 14: HYD TRANSFER PUMP switch to NORMAL, combined side hydraulic pressure is supposed to be maintained at between 2400-2600 psi. With 2.5.6.45317, the pressure drops to 0 psi instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golo Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Make sure you disconnect external power first after starting right engine. According to F-14B natops flight manual: "...,the HYD TRANSFER PUMP will not operate if the external power plug is still in the aircraft receptacle."

Bestandskraft Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks, that was indeed the problem! Minor thing though, in the note to step 14 it says that the hydraulic transfer pump "[w]ill operate from flight side to maintain combined side at between 2400-2600 psi." In the game, when switching to NORMAL after returning the engine crank switch to neutral, the pressure in the combined side stays at 3000 psi instead of dropping to 2400-2600 psi.
