coilwinder Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Or is it? I was playing a bit with manual reversion switches and so on, and found that the "Elevator Emergency Disengage switch" didn't really disengage the elevators (they both seemed to move in sync). The Aileron Emergency Disengage switch worked as advertised though. As did the Manual Reversion switch, I think. Using DCS World and A-10C version 1.2.3.
asp22 Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 I tired this on the ground (1.5.5) and saw them same thing; ailerons disengage but the elevators do not. I had a go at creating a mission where the elevators would jam but was unable to find the corresponding failure mode.
Eddie Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Most (possibly all, I've never seen one, but can't confirm they're not just highly unlikely) of the faults and failures that would require the use of MRFCS and/or the emergency disconnect/retraction switches are not modelled in DCS. The both of the elevators have their own actuator, the emergency disengage switch will only have an impact if one elevator is jammed and therefore preventing the other from moving.
Gliptal Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 I guess some of those might become relevant if they fix the windmilling engine issue.
bkthunder Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Can someone point em to the thread about the hydraulic pressure / windmilling bug? Can't find it anymore. Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s

The Aileron Emergency Disengage switch worked as advertised though. As did the Manual Reversion switch, I think. Using DCS World and A-10C version 1.2.3. From the DCS manual If the elevators are still connected with the shearable crossover shaft, a single elevator actuator / control path can power both elevators if one of the actuators or control paths fail. and Elevator Emergency Disengage Switch. In the event one of the two linked elevators becomes inoperative, you may need to disable it so that the other elevator can still function. To do so, you may move the ELEVATOR EMER DISENGAGE switch left or right to disengage the selected elevator actuator. This will bypass the inoperative control path and allow the other elevator to move freely. other sources [ATTACH]153772[/ATTACH] AFAIK, the Emergency Disconnect turns off the elevator Hydraulic actuator of the respective side, but the elevators are still connected.

Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
bkthunder Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 I think it was removed. I don't think so, why would they remove it? It was full of references and info! Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s
