Cold and Dark Startup

Featured Replies

Just wondering if anyone could help me out with this.  Whenever I select the Cold and Dark panel state from the FMC I was wondering how you connect ground power.  Right now the only way is to start the APU.  

 

Thanks for the Help!

The FMC.

When you switch the battery on the FMC does not start.

Somewhere in the manual it says "Press and Hold MENU button in the FMC" while in cold and dark

The boeing advise for real world T7 is: do not switch off the elec. power etc if it is not absolute required. Every time the computers must performe a extensive and longtime startup procedure. Even the adiru is not switched off. Most of the time only dimming the display units and fmc display. So cold and dark is NOT a good option.

So that whenever anyone asks a simple question everyone can just reply "RTFM" 

 

I am finding it quite odd that people want to buy something like the PMDG T7 which you could, technically, fly by pressing a few buttons (significantly less buttons than the NGX) but have little interested in learning about it (which is where all the fun is with the T7). The 160 page introduction manual takes 30-minutes to properly "skim" read and it's quite shocking how many people aren't bothering to do this.

I had the same question, and now I am reading this manual while I should be working. But damn it is interesting, I feel stupid not having read it before.

Thanks for the tip anyways, and have great flights !
