Hydraulic Question

Featured Replies

When using ground power (no engines/APU running), I can't seem to get any hydraulic power out of the Elec Hydraulic Pumps. i.e. no px indications on the EICAS.... and no movement of things like TE Flaps.Is this a 737 thing? Do I need anything other than the overhead elec pump switches to be on?ThanksCheers.Ian.

Hi Ian,I think my answer will not really be a surprise to you: no, you shouldn't need anything other than the overhead elec pump switches on.If you read the real 737 operations manual, during the overhead panel scan you switch the electrical pumps on, so this is well before the engines are running. At that moment you check the following, direct quote:- electric pump low pressure lights: extinguished- brake pressure: 2800 psi minimum- system A and B pressure: 2800 psi minimum- quantity indicators: above RFLTo be honest though, there a just a few sims that I know of that get this right: PIC767 and of course PS1. Have to admit I don't know too many other sims :-)On the other hand, it doesn't seem impossibly complicated to program. Have to admit I don't know too much about that either :-)Leo Bakker

"On the other hand, it doesn't seem impossibly complicated to program. Have to admit I don't know too much about that either :-)"Good save ;-)Probably only a few hundred lines of code (most of which are needed to override FS2002's logic).Probably not quite as simple as adding an "OR" gate ;-)Cheers.Ian.
