flare2k17 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago When starting the 29 i usually don't use ground power but instead turn on my apu like in the mi 24. I've seen other people just using battery power to start up the whole plane. Does the apu have any effect on how the plane actually starts up?

CrazyGman Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Speaking of startup. I tried flipping all the switches at once using the master lever that allows all switches to be flipped in one go, but my gyros' wouldn't align properly if I did that. When I did the procedure normally as per wags video everything worked fine, but I'm wondering why it then has that master lever to flip all the switches at once if that cause the startup to not work properly

I use the cage always and never had issues. Have you disabled main power switch for main gyro as Wags did in video tutorial? If you had, don't do that anymore. It creates gyro problem and INS alignment is busted. Instead use main - stby gyro mode on navigation panel to check if stand by gyro holds same heading.

I've only used the normal procedure where you toggle them as needed, and wondered why it had a cage to toggle them all too.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Soul's pit thread

It may be an issue to do that. Not sure if that is according to procedures. Never tried it myself. AFCS damper may also become issue if all 3 trimmers are not centered. But try again and wait for gyro to spin up 30-40 seconds. Do not disengage main gyro switch on this panel to test standby gyro ! Actually try not to touch anything. After 30-40 seconds on keyboard press J + 9 keys, both at the same time and hold for 1-2 seconds. Theoretically, it could work. In the end cage is used for reducing preparation time and only for emergency scramble to intercept upcoming threats. No need if you are "casual".

Waiting 30-40 seconds doesn't work if I do all the switches at once with the cage. I also never disable the main gyro switch, as that is usually an extra step for testing, and I'm looking at doing the fastest startup scramble time as possible, which means I'm trying to get the Gyros warmed and aligned, the AFCS damper test done, and the fast alignment completed all at the same time, which In theory should happen if I use the cage.

Hmm, i will try to do that as well. I will share my experience if it is successful.
