Loading In With No Hydraulic Pressure Cannot Unfold Wings

[sbower]

This is an intermittent problem where I load into an Instant cold start, hot start, or into a server, and I watch my hydraulic pressure go from around 80 pci to zero. After start up the pressure stays at zero and I cannot lower my wings. This issue happens around 90% of the time because on occasion after restarting DCS I do have HYD pressure after loading in, and after starting up I can unfold my wings just fine.

I have done a full repair that did not help, and checked my binds to make sure nothing was crossed bound (not that HYD has a binding). Other players that have the same module that I fly with are not experiencing this issue, so I'm at a crossroads as to what I can do to fix this issue with HYD pressure going to zero when loading into the bird. 

Can one of the Magnitude 3 guys help me with this issue please!

Not had this issue personally.

Only thing I can suggest is have you tried using the hand pump located at the left side of the pilot seat?

I am having this issue also, but it showed in Single player offline, whilst starting missions I had made to test new modules, in my case I was noticing that that the guns did not work, (they are cocked hydraulically), and I only noticed after much frustraion, back on the ground trying to unfold the wings like you, I thought how come thats not working now! after following the start up procedure in the training, I realised that having moved the cowl flaps control to open and looked at the cowl flaps to confirm position, I hadnt realised that the control lever was still in the open position which seemed to drain of the pressure, preventing the wing operation, so I returned the control to the neutral position, and re-checked the wing operation, success they now work as should, next I tried the non-working guns on the ground, again they worked, so I think the solution to this is to check the opeation of items in the hydro system and make sure the controls are returned to a neutral position. Hope this helps you, I am continuing my testing and learning, also sorry if I rambled on a bit.

Not sure if it is the same thing, and maybe it is as intended, but my wings only fold when the cowl flaps are in a position "other" than fully open.  I.e. in the 2/3 open or closed position the wings fold.  I've checked and don't see any conflicting bindings.

Yes I have tried the hand pump noting happens with the pressure still at zero.

Thanks for the answer of the day, it was just that I had left my Cowl Flap three way switch in the out position and it drains the HYD pressure. Nice call!

Yep same exact issue myself- initial use of the module wings lowered now they never will
