Animated external power

[Gierasimov]

So, as DCS is a simulation game / entertainment product, and as we see the standard and quality bar raised by Heatblur modules, each time they release a new product, I wish we could see at least the same level of fidelity in the upcoming MiG-29A module as we got in HB's Phantom.

As many of us here know, the APU that is used to crank the engines for staring is a gas turbine engine started by electric motor. In the Fulcrum, like in many other aircraft, batteries or an external electrical power can be used to provide electrical power during engine start.

I wish the startup procedure included the graphical / functional usage of the new APA-5D GPU unit available in game, similar to how it is done in aforementioned Phantom module.

You might want to change the tag as the "eternal power" is not realistic

Well, there's zero-point energy but we're not quite there yet (at least in the public domain)
