Partial Panel

Post by Romeo Juliett Echo »

Hi,

I'm currently doing my IMC in the UK and want to practice flying with partial panel where the gyroscopic instruments, AI and DI have failed. I have checked the fuses and can't find one for the vacuum pump. Is there a way to temporarily disable the vacuum pump?

Thanks

RJE - the default FSX/P3D failure modelling should do what you need here: simply go into the "failures" menu → "systems" and tick the vacuum system as failed. You can also set the failure to arm within a prescribed time window.

Note that the default failures simulation isn't really compatible with the A2A fleet when it comes to engine failures though.

Thanks,
Nick

P.S. No fuse for the vacuum pump: it's engine-driven, not electrical. :wink:
