Finlayson Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It seems the default cold-and-dark positions of the "Boost Pumps" and "AC Gen" switches have been changed from "off" to "on" in 55960. Is that a bug or a feature? When the aircraft is cold and dark, these should be off, right? Same thing is true for the original A-10C Warthog.

All my old A-10C I habits haunted me, I was flipping them off for startup. Good to know, I knew some startup sequences had changed, but failed to actually dig and discover. Pointy end hurt!

nickos86 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 It mean that when you turn on the battery you immediately get all the power load from the pumps. It could damage the electrical system, no? I would be better to add this systems one-by-one, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is correct as is now to simulate how we set up the cockpit before the pilot steps to the jet. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I suspected. Just wanted to confirm that is the case in RL. Thanks for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MAIN and WING tank pumps are AC powered, which means you need to have the APU running and online, or the main engines running and generators switched on. Only then will the AC pumps get power and start pumping fuel. There is a small automatic DC powered pump, that the battery will run. But it is a small pump, and only meant to provide fuel to the APU so it can start.
