phant Posted June 4, 2024 Author Posted June 4, 2024 (edited) OctopusG DCS: La-7 DEVELOPMENT NOTES In this recent note, let's focus on a small but important detail concerning the operation of the hydraulic system of the La-7 aircraft, which is designed to control the position of the landing gear and flaps. The control valve levers for the landing gear and flaps have three positions: "DEPLOYED," "NEUTRAL," "RETRACTED." After completing the retraction or deployment of the landing gear and flaps, the pilot must move the lever to the "NEUTRAL" position. Delaying the return of the lever to the neutral position leads to an increase in pressure in the hydraulic system and premature failure of the hydraulic pump. It should also be noted that the flap control valve can only operate when the landing gear valve is in the neutral position, as it is connected to the idle circuit. As you can see, using the aircraft's hydraulic system requires attention and precision. Watch our instructional film, which visually demonstrates the rules for operating the La-7 aircraft's hydraulic system: Bye Phant Edited June 5, 2024 by phant 1
