Hydraulic press. Seems high and Fluctuation on both systems

[P3CFE]

 

After Enginestart, the hydraulic pressure is fluctuating in both systems (about 150 PSI Fluct).

It also seems a bit high to me ( Well above 3000 PSI), but I don't know if this was realistic in the F4.

I think I see what is happening,  sinds the systems of the  Phantom are planned to be as realistic as possible.

The hydraulic presure is rising during engine startup because the plunger pumps are reving  up....(That seems oke in the Sim.)
The plungerpumps sould then stabilize at 3000 psi and remain steady  because of the supply beeing regulated as a function of pressure. (That is not correctly simulated in the Sim.).

If the pressure keeps rising because of a faulty regulating system in the plungerpup assy, there is a pressure relief valve that opens at about 3250 PSI.

This is what seems to be happening in the sim at the moment, over and over again.

Aircraft Grounded for the moment.

Or is it just me with these indications ?

Thank you for the report. The relief valve cracking pressure should be closer to 3800 psi. I suspect some very uneven power consumption somewhere. Of course, this looks like a bug, and we will investigate and fix it in the next patch. We haven't taken a closer look yet, but we'll let everyone know when we have more information about the issue.

Yep, 3800 sounds more accurate for a safety relief..thanks.

Good luck, with the TS and Maintenance.
