Alt to cold and dark

[Driver170 42]

What is the alt to cold and dark? Because taking over an ac isn't always cold and dark. How can i set my NGX up and FS2Crew to allow this to happen?

Just select the Long or Short Panel state in the PMDG FMC.

 

To be realistic, you should always use either of them anyway.

 

If you're flying airline ops, you'd never receive the plane cold and dark.

So what actions will my FO take then?

[pete_auau 1,152]

Its all explained in the manual  on the flows  on who does what etc

[Driver170 42]

I know that. I'm asking seen as i'm not starting from cold and dark what Flows will thr officer do instead?

[byork 2,258]

He'll do the same flows, but make allowances based on your current power setup.

[Driver170 42]

Should he be doing the same flows if you're not starting with cold and dark?

The flows are the same, but certain items in some of flows will be done slightly differently based on your current configuration.

[Driver170 42]

But the FO does some flows thats required in the cold and dark like he checks the battery?

Is it true if you select other than cold and dark you will get the SDK failed?

So how come the FO is still switching on GRD PWR after i've selected long panel state on my NGX and the ground power is already on?

That's not true.

Which power selection are you selecting on the CFG panel?

That's not true.

 

Just that i got an SDK failure i did end the flight and it was fine after a restart.

I had APU/EXT selected

 

Is there anychance we can have access to what the FO does for the flow when not selecting cold and dark? Cheers

I had APU/EXT selected

 

So you're using the APU to provide air conditioning and the GPU to provide to electrical power.

 

Most important thing is to select your desired power configuration prior to pressing Run PF events.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say? I had everything setup.

[Driver170 42]

You need to explain a little bit more? Right now i've just selected the short panel state and the APU is running.

 

I set the config panel to APU/EXT is this correct?
