Conure Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hey guys, got the mission paused atm...Anyway, heading out from the airport and suddenly (and for no apparent reason I'm aware of) my auto pilot shuts down, master caution blinks and altitude starts flashing on the hud, sooo...Check the CDU and "CADC fail". Check the Warning light panel and CADC, EAC and GCAS are all lit up...This kind of stuff is way beyond my diagnostic ability atm - any clues?!

Conure Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Probs :-) Mission is sunset Sierra - does auto startup switch it on?

nomdeplume Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Don't know if the auto-start does it. The pitot heat switch is on the right console, a bit under the oxygen indicator area. It's on the left side of the panel; mouseover the switches to see the tooltips and you'll find it. If the switch is in the down position, then it's off. I'm 99% certain the game still has random failures that occur completely outside of your control, and the CADC is one of those. I also don't think the pitot tube getting too cold causes a CADC failure, although it might do if left unfixed for some time. The first indication you've forgotten the pitot heat is that the airspeed indicator will stop changing value, which is pretty obvious because it's right there on the HUD. Edit -> when you quit the mission, scan the debrief log to see if there's any mention of CADC total failure occurring or something similar.

Bulletstop Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Random Failure, happens all the time, well it has happened to em several times . I did have pitot heat on, tried resetting, no go, so rtb with busted plane :).

beers Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I'm 99% certain the game still has random failures that occur completely outside of your control... I felt fairly certain that there were no random system failures, that aside from possible beta-bugs, she works like the well-oiled machine her designers dreamed of without that pesky real-world (dust, squirrel nest on the APU, etc...) getting in the way. everything I thought was a system failure was explained to me as user mistakes and I've not had a 'random' system failure in the last ... 20, 30 hours of flight, since learning from my mistakes. Anyone know for sure if system failures "just happen"? 2600K @ 4.2GHz, MSI P67A-GD55, 16GB G.Skill @2133 , GTX 970, Rift, SSD boot & DCS drive [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
recoil17 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'm not familiar with that mission but if you have the PITOT heating switch ON while you are on the ramp or taxiing, it could cause the CADC to overheat. I don't turn my PITOT switch on until after taxiing and am lined up for takeoff. I turn it off after touchdown, right before taxiing. If you start a mission with the plane running, the PITOT is on. I'm not sure about auto start. Never used it. "Simultaneous selection of fuel dump and afterburner during high AOA maneuvering may cause fuel to ignite with resulting fuselage damage."
Scabbers Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 pitot heat will not heat up the CADC. it only heats the pitot and static tubes to prevent icing. It is a heat element not air blown heat Now where is that speed brakes control again? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
