Bulva Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) 1) Should these lights come on when the GPU is plugged in even though the Battery is in the OFF position (key not even inserted) ??? The hands on the %TORQUE gauge come to life: 2) I am asking you to assign a command for GPU support (on / off), so that you do not have to expand the upper XP menu (I fly VR). A great plane. I haven't flown it for a long time, and now this love has revived PS. still no sound of opening/closing the locker (in which there is a key) Edited May 19, 2023 by Bulva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's use of the phraseology in the maintenance manual of "turn battery key on (or connect external power)". The key essentially "connects the batteries to the busses", whereas the external power receptable also engergizes a relay that can connect the GPU power to the main busses also. Indeed there is a troubleshooting step in the maintenance manual for when connecting external power does not power the main busses, and the battery key switch does not factor in to those troubleshooting steps. As far as the torque gauges goes, they indicate 100% when unpowered. When connecting the GPU, which energizes the DC busses, they spring to life and 'indicate' I'm going to do a deeper dive into the electrical system at some point to try and get it as accurate as i can. These older analog wiring diagrams can be a challenge to interpret and take some time. Regarding the GPU toggle, I'll add that command (though I have no idea why I didn't when making the on/off commands. mind-blank apparently) -tk Edited May 19, 2023 by tkyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulva Posted May 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Thank you very much for clarifying this issue. The support and help is just as great as the whole MU2 plane Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemotron Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 On and off commands for the GPU already exist, I have bound then to a switch. Not at my computer right now, but I think it's connect_gpu and disconnect_gpu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulva Posted May 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Oh, I'm stupid. In fact, in the version for XP12, these commands already exist. They are missing in XP11. Super and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
