F16FLCS-SME Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Latest Open Beta Instant Action single player. In flight, shutdown the engine. HYD PRESS A,B gauges will drop to zero (as expected). EPU comes ON (as expected). HYD PRESS A,B gauges will rize to 3000 PSI. Thats wrong since the EPU can only backup HYD SYS A. HYD SYS B should stay at zero PSI.

ED Team cofcorpse Posted September 30, 2020 ED Team Posted September 30, 2020 Thank you for report! But I think it works correct. Gauges drop to zero because electric power is removed. When EPU comes online, electric power returns and HYD PRESS indicators shows pressure. No actuators were moving so the pressure did not decrease. Even if you try to move a stick, for example, HYD PRESS B will lower, but then it will regain again, as windmilling engine will be enough to build up pressure.
F16FLCS-SME Posted September 30, 2020 Author Posted September 30, 2020 Yes, I stand corrected. Windmilling is providing the HYD SYS B power. Not a bug. Thanks for enlightening me!
Bouli306 Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Actually the indicators should not go to zero after shutting down the engine in flight. When the Main gen and stby gen go oflline the gages should be stuck from then. Because they run on AC power tehy will stop moving when teh power is off. "AC lies DC dies"
ED Team cofcorpse Posted October 5, 2020 ED Team Posted October 5, 2020 AC gauges behaviour reported, thanks!
F16FLCS-SME Posted November 4, 2020 Author Posted November 4, 2020 After the Nov 4 update, which fixed something with the hydraulic guages, I think a new bug has surfaced. Fix for fuel flow indicator, hydraulic pressure indicators, oil pressure indicator, nozzle position indicator Instant action -Takeoff. Before taking off, set your EPU switch to OFF. Takeoff and climb to 10K feet. Shutdown the engine by the master fuel switch to OFF. Engine will die slowly and EPU will not come on as expected. AC power to the HYD PRESS guages is lost so their reading is stuck at the last value (3000) as expected. Wait for engine RPM to reach zero. Move the control surfaces violently to deplete any remaing hydraulic pressure from the accumulators. Stall the aircraft on purpose to counter the windmilling effect. Flight controls will still respond even if hydraulic pressure is completely lost. Here is the track file. http://www.mediafire.com/file/qdx4azysufpj1ju/HYD+PRESS.trk/file Is it still a windmilling effect or a bug?
