Malfunction: Utility Battery Fail not working

[Droggelkelch]

Hi folks,

I am currently creating a F/A-18C Training Sylabus for me and my squadron. In this i was trying to find a way to train malfunctions and emergencies.

I was trying to Set the malfunction UBAT FAIL, but nothing happens.

According to my sources the DC Essential Bus shut then fail and/or there should be a caption.

• FCCA 1 and 2 should be Xed out
• Fire extingusher Light should go on
• L and R Oil OR Caution
• Comms should be off 
• and many more

Afraid to say that we have very little at present in the Hornet along the lines of realistic system failures. I'm sure they'll come eventually, but it's pretty far behind modules like Heatblur's Tomcat in this regard. In seven years of flying the DCS Hornet (with well over 1000 hours in it), I've still yet to hear Betty say "bleed air," "Engine Fire," "APU Fire," or any other of the like, beyond the standard test procedure. Nor have I ever seen a fire light. I'm sure we'll get there, though. I'd LOVE to see Heatblur-Levels of systems simulation and failures in the Hornet. We'll keep being patient.
