Skkuda Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Hello Everyone! I nedd to told it Took me few days of practice to get the accelerated start up procedure.....(You know..Wife & Kids in the house doesn´t let you much free time) So today instead of switch the batteries on I ask for ground power to feed my machine....and complete my accelerated start up procedure. gently starts to elevate my machine when suddenly HUD, INU, ABRIS went off! Jesus!! What a F--- Happens here!! after that I landed the chopper safely but what??? (The only reasonable reason that I found is that I forget to ask or disconnect the ground power:doh:) I can imagine the ground crew screamin at the top of his lungs -Stop!! Stop!! Such Idiot!! We need to diconnect you! Punk!! Anyone can confirm? Tonight I´m gonna give it another try. As I said I love this sim!

tn_prvteye Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 HAHAHAHA!! That's GREAT! And I can sympathize about the wife & kids...I've been staying up late just to get some time alone with my new "love"... :) And yes, you DO have to ask for a disconnect...I found out the same way you did!
xell Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) *cough* ... its a good thing this is a SIM. :) Edited December 19, 2008 by xell
Shepski Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 You need both the batteries and the generators on. If you try to take off while ground power or even communications are still connected you will get a nasty message from the ground guy. :)
Krippz Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks for sharing the story. I have to juggle time between two jobs, college and a girlfriend. So I completely sympathize with you.

nemises Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 yeah, turn on your generators and batteries....the turbines drive the generators, the generators charge the batteries, and the batteries power the AC equipment in the Chopper (ABRIS, HUD..basically anything "electronic"). Make sure the DC converter is on also! when on ground power, the AC equipment is powered externally..if you fly off with the cables still attached, and not generating your own charge for the batteries...well... :)
