dporter22 Posted July 4 Posted July 4 The guidance says to start, then request external power, but shut down engines before requesting external power. I'm confused. What exactly am I supposed to do?

I'm confused. What exactly am I supposed to do? The external power is a bit tricky the first couple of times. If the kneeboard checklist is not enough, I suggest finding a YouTube video that shows you how. That might be a bit easier than trying to walk you through it here.

Kurnass1977 Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Ok, just finished my third attempt and scored 100
Kurnass1977 Posted September 12 Posted September 12 Ok this is the procedure. Spoiler As per instruction start the plane and complete the checklist likr for a normal mission ( follow the Special procedure om the kneeboard). At this point call via F10 menu ground crew and order to connect the external power and shuydown the engines; when done follow again the kneeboard for After Engines Shot Down, and thst's all
dporter22 Posted September 12 Author Posted September 12 Ok, thanks. Doesn't make sense to start the engines, connect external power, then shut down the engines but ok.
Nix Mills Posted September 12 Posted September 12 You start up the engines to run all your checks. When all that is done, you shut down the engines again so as not to sit and burn fuel in the parking area. All your instruments will stay powered on by the external power.
dporter22 Posted September 13 Author Posted September 13 Must be a Navy thing. We never did that in the Air Force. If you have external power connected there's no need to start the engines and then shut them down.
L4key Posted September 14 Posted September 14 I can’t manually start/shut down the jet so am I a bit screwed for this mission?
