Aginor Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Maybe I am the one who misunderstood something, but to me that doesn't look like an answer to the OPs question. AFAIK the answer is no, the C-101 doesn't have an APU. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Is it possible/realistic to start the 101 without external power? It's not permitted to start without a GPU, as the electrical load destroys the batteries (it's electric start; the engine is equipped with a starter/generator). Best regards, Tango.

Vivoune Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So basically you can do it, the instruments won't work after that though? I tried and the engines started just fine without the GPU :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel_108 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Alright, thanks Tango! Edit: My batteries are fine nevertheless :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harm_ Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So basically you can do it, the instruments won't work after that though? I tried and the engines started just fine without the GPU ___ Edit: My batteries are fine nevertheless Thats because you have a new plane every flight ;) my friends The batteries are not meant to be replaced every flight. Imagine the RL scenario: You might start the engines, and the remaining power of the batteries might be enough to last one flight in combination with the generator power if they were brand new. But once you landed ... you will be facing a very angry mechanic team and your CO's face would be red hot ... not a pleasant experience. After the yelling you would get grounded. That being said, this is a computer game. I don't think making a battery life simulator is necessary , is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanOscar Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It is possible, and it's only performed by maintenance ground crew. As Tango said, the excessive load on the batteries are critical, and pilots are no allowed to start the engine without GPU. Batteries comsumptions are not implemented yet.

Tango Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Already done! Just adding the rest of the electrical loads now. Best regards, Tango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnox Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I just got a fresh C101 in my hangar and ... yes, started it without GPU. I apologize for treting it so bad - my only excuse is: I didnt know :cry: Anyway: This topic raises another question - does that mean I'm not able to start the engine during flight?
