[NEED TRACK REPLAY]No OXY warn light if Oxygen is turned off above 10K

[DmitriKozlowsky]

I admit it. Even with checklist start up, I , ar times, forget to turn ON OXYGEN. One would think that in real Hornet, or any other modern aircraft, oxygen off or malfunction above angels 10 would be a bright red WARNING flashing for all its worth. I have flown mission where I climbed to above angels 40, after which Hornet stalls. I have GLOC enabled and screen has gone dark during 7+G sustained turn. So sim has that physiological effect. Isn't lack of oxy manifests as loss of color vision, then blurry peripheral, then blurry, then dark LOC.

A brief glance through some docs reveal that 'OBOGS DEGD' is the caution that should appear when the system detects that the concentration of oxygen flowing through the hose is less that acceptable.

Hi

 

we would like to see a replay showing it happen.

 

In the hornet with OBOGS turned off it should deprive the pilot of oxygen, this is due to the mask always being in the on / worn state in the cockpit.

 

thanks

I think there is an issue here.

 

Expected behaviour:

Oxy flow - on

OBOGS - off

OBOGS DEGD caution - on

 

Actual behaviour:

Oxy flow - on

OBOGS - off

OBOGS DEGD caution - off

 

This may just be my misunderstanding of natops, but I imagine the OBOGS being off would count as the required conditions to trip the OBOGS monitor triggering the OBOGS DEGD caution.

The obogs has never had any effect in game

I don't believe this is the case. It sounds to me like it's only monitoring the quality of the oxygen being delivered to the mask. If the concentration goes below a threshold it activates the alert. I've lifted this straight from the NATOPS;

 

2.18.3.5 OBOGS DEGD Display. An OBOGS DEGD caution comes on when the oxygen concentration inside the OBOGS monitor is below the acceptable level.

[Swift.]

Indeed, so if the OBOGS is off then the % oxygen would be significantly lower than acceptable level, thus triggering an alert. The only reason this wouldnt happen is if the Monitor doesnt act if the OBOGS switch is in the off position.

Yes it does. Depressurize the Hornet at altitude then turn your OBOGS off.

Yes this is my understanding of it also.
