Jf-17 electrical issues

[Paladin489]

So my issue is that if I take a brand new jf17 cold and turn on the batterie or plug in the ground power, after around 10 minutes most systems inside will go haywire (mfcds, the warning pannels, the starter wont work anymore) and it leaves the jet unable to be used and need a repair

 

I have done a bunch of test including flying it before shutting down and keeping just the batterie or the GU on, either way at some point both will result in the same problems 

after ending the flight/mission there is no reports of any damages to any system so I don't think it's an empty batterie (since GU does not help)

so the only I can stay on the parking space while waiting for people or to wait for an interception is to either keep its engine on and have to refuel and all just before take off or turn the batterie off and lose my alignment and other settings

I tried with random failures off and no changes 

if anyone knows better or maybe its an unknown bug for the devs idk honestly.

 

Edit: so yeah it was overheating electronics

from so tests ive done it seems that after passing some cool air with the ecs does bring everything back to normal as its not permanent damages

Sounds like you forgot to turn on ECS, if that's the case avionics are overheating which could result in symptoms you're describing

oh thats a very good guess yeah, but i can't have them on while the engine is off if im not mistaken

That is correct but you can start the engine in under 1 minute

[Mike_Romeo]

Actually you can start the whole aircraft in almost less than 2 minutes

(Forgot to turn on taxi lights and to set up IFF and datalink but that can also be done quickly during taxi)

that's correct

i prefer to use the GC but fast alignment works too

Yeah you won’t be able to sit around just on ground power without the engine running, you need the bleed air system to cool the avionics. So if there is a wait time before takeoff, you can just top off before you go with fuel. Should not take that long.

yeah that would be the most efficient timewise thanks

Do you have VoiceAttack? As VAICOM is now free, you can ask for refueling without going through the armament screen.

Yes, it's by voice commands. Especially handy for radios, no F menu.
