Hydraulics bug?

Following the real procedures and checklists, shouldn't it work like this after engine shutdown?

.

.

- Battery and generator off

- Flaps fully down (flaps won't move)

- Hydraulics release: PULL (flaps will drop)

Right now it works like this in DCS:

-Flaps fully down (flaps will move)

-Hydraulics release - flaps will stop moving

As far as I recall it used to work correctly before, but not now, not in 2.2 :(

Thanks!

I don't think the SOP was to manually drop the flaps on parking, but dumping the hydraulics was, although Kermit Weeks apparently does this

I've noticed too that once you dump the hydraulics the flaps don't drop from their own weight.

I read somebody saying that it takes time for the weight of the flaps to force the hydraulic fluid through the system and allow them to drop, but I would imagine, not so long that it takes hours.

. Watching all three videos goes without saying ;)

That's exactly the video what made me think so.

1) with the battery off the motor that moves the flaps shouldn't work

2) with the hydraulics dumped, the flaps should drip by their own weight - just like the wheel well covers do, even in DCS.

I think no, flap's system is not connected with electric system, hydraulic flap's motor is driven by hydraulic pressure and is controled by mechanical valve controled by pilot.

It shouldn't be dependent on battery switch possition. Only on pressure inside hydraulic system and position on flaps control lever.
