w.i.p ICU blinking , EAPS warning, few questions.

[grim_reaper68]

Hi

Just got my first lesson, and as I started the CH47, I saw this ICU light blinking. No info about it in the manual. Is it normal, Did i do something wrong?

I also had the EAPS1 and 2 warning, I tried turn the EAPS on, but no changes. And there is nothing about it in the manual too.

Do you have the same issues?

I even got the message when selecting the aircraft as hot start on instant action.

Seems to be normal at this point, surely solved in the future. Maybe not properly implemented yet.

I’m guessing this is something they’ll fix as they flesh and/or add more systems.  I noted this same ICU light is on (two of the lights) in the Hook during the initial training videos put out by “Mags”.

Seems like it was taken out of the oven WAY too soon...

If you watch 47DRIVER on youtube he does not have these alarms present. Not sure what the difference between his release and this on is.

He likely acknowledged the cautions before leaving the WCA page (so should you) so there isn't any issue with it for the remainder of the mission.

I've acknowledged them multiple times, but still blinking, and I never had a warning for the ICU. I followed step by step the startup tutorial, where it was never told to press ack to erase the default. By the way, the only messages I have are for the EAPS and the EGI.

ACK only applies to the messages in the WCA, the blinking ICU is a different item (to be ignored while w.i.p.)
EAPS can be acknowledged so they wont trigger master caution anymore. EGIs can be enabled in the power format page in your MFD. So none of these should bother anymore.

I came here as I still have the EAPS1 & 2 failures. Don’t know what I’m missing?

They're not implemented yet. The most you can do right now is acknowledge the master caution.

Cheers Sam, after posting I went on a MP and was told the same there.

acknowledging the master caution knocks off for a bit but we’ll have to wait for it all to be finished properly.

From partly hating this I grown to adore it. Systems that gives warning and is not implemented yet is a good sign. They obviously is going to be implemented pretty soon

Aha, a volunteer to monitor the situation and chase it up if and when needed. Thank you.
