av8orDave Posted Saturday at 02:58 PM Posted Saturday at 02:58 PM Hello all, I am currently flying Reflected's outstanding Red Flag 81-2 campaign. In the first combat mission, Mission 1, I have tried it three times and two of the times, I have had the utility hydraulic pressure drop to zero, triggering a master caution light and a flashing "wheels" warning. The plane otherwise flies fine. I also noticed on landing, the utility hydraulic pressure returned to normal. Not sure if I am missing something, doing something to cause this, or if it is a bug. I'd attach the track file but it is too large. Any thoughts?
Klunker Posted yesterday at 06:03 AM Posted yesterday at 06:03 AM I too am having the same issue and it has increased in frequency the past few days. I don't believe it's related to the Campaign because I've also had it doing canned missions that come with the Mod. Thinking I may have oversped the flaps, I got down on my knees to check the flap gage and noticed it was also blinking in and out. I believe the flaps are good out to 250 knots but am not sure they are getting fully retracted before I've been reaching that speed. The acceleration following lift off is extremely fast, and I'm hard pressed to rein in the beast before the 250 mark. I never check the cockpit flap gages because they are harder to see than the True Airspeed Indicator. Looking at them from the F2 view, they always look up even with just one click of the three click Flaps button. So, it may be flap problem causing the Wheels Light/Utility Hydraulic issue. If the flaps aren't a cause, they at least seem to also be affected by this anomaly.
