timc Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Had a flight with the guys on the Shrek server last night (thanks for accommodating me guys) and redefined the term "combat ineffective" but anyway, I was hit by a SAM which knocked out the CADC and punched a hole in my wing. I was flying around for a good 10 minutes with something leaking out of the damaged wing but there was no drop in fuel or hydraulic levels. Is this kind of damage modelled? Also, with CADC out my altimeter stopped working so I tried to switch it to pneumatic but it wont work. I've had this before but am sure I have also seen it working in earlier builds. Is this function not modelled or do I need to set something else to get it working? The manual simply refers to switching to pneu mode in the event of CADC failure
EtherealN Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Spontaneously, my guess would be that the static port was damaged by the hit you took. Hydraulic leaks etcetera is modeled, there is however two systems and if only one is taken out you can last a while on that. (Though if I remember my hydro charts right they're not fully redundant, would have to check the manuals for that.) Might be fuel also, of course, hard to say without seeing it.

Supersheep Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 1) Yes, you can loose fuel or oil (not good, generally) 2) You need to press and HOLD that PNEU/ELEC switch for some time. Clicking it does nothing. Super- 1 The PVC Pipe Joystick Stand How to thread
Eddie Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Hydraulic system damage is bugged at the moment. You won't see any hyd failures until the devs get around to fixing it.
timc Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Hydraulic system damage is bugged at the moment. You won't see any hyd failures until the devs get around to fixing it. Ok, thanks. That explains why I haven't seen hydraulic pressure dropping. What about fuel - there doesn't appear to be leakage from the tanks as indicated by a dropping tank needle (I did move the selector to the relevant tank). I'll make a note to press and hold the PNEU switch next time - thanks for the tip.
