Ludl0w Posted June 8, 2024 Posted June 8, 2024 Greetings, Like many of you, I have been thoroughly enjoying the phabulous Phantom. Even though its an early-access module, its remarkably feature-complete. Nothing I wouldn't expect from Heatblur, but it still exceeded my expectations. I did discover something whily flying the Phantom. It seems that the hydraulic system is not fully modeled. Hydraulic pressure and hydraulic pressure fluctuations due to flight control usage seems to be modeled. But hydraulic fluid loss due to damage doesn't seem to be modeled yet. I have flown many scenarios and taken severe battle damage (even completely losing my vertical stabilizer and one of my stabilators) and never lost hydraulic fluid pressure unless the engines shut down and there is no power for the hydraulic pumps. Again, I know its in early access and just released. I'm not expecting for all the systems to be fully modeled yet. But I wanted to know if full hydraulic system modeling is planned?
Solution Super Grover Posted June 8, 2024 Solution Posted June 8, 2024 (edited) Thank you for your message, @Ludl0w. Yes. Some aspects of the hydraulic systems simulation haven't been enabled yet as they are among the most complex systems and influence multiple other components. A potential bug could render the entire aircraft unflyable, so we decided to play it safe for the release. There are also other aspects of the hydraulic system modelling that need to be finished, and proper hydraulic leaks are in that group. They aren't on the shortlist for the next update, but it won't be long before those features are released.

I'm very excited for this modules future and am so impressed with where its at currently!
