Flaps & Hydraulic systems

Hello,

One of the things in 10.10 that's been done by Laminar is to stop electric flaps operating on a dead bus. However on the CRJ the flaps were still working in the cold and dark state.

So... I opened up planemaker and ticked the highlighted box

So afterwards flaps don't operate on a dead bus (as should be the case)! Any chance you can catch this for the next update?

Hydraulics

One of the things I've been investigating is to see how the hydraulics system hangs together.

Test:

1. In flight, turn off hydraulic pumps 1, 3A & 3B. Leaving just pump 2 running.

2a. Operate landing gear - landing gear shouldn't move but it does.

b. Roll the plane. Left aileron shouldn't move but it does.

You can repeat the tests symetrically if you wish (and do more tests with brakes etc..), but the above test suggests that the hydraulic system only consists of one universal hydrailic circuit with 6 pumps, rather than three separate hydraulic circuits in x-plane.

Is this a bug with the CRJ, or a limitation in x-plane that hasn't been highlighted? The hydraulics description in your manual isn't highlighted red, which suggests it should work as described. This isn't new for 10.10
