no boiling steam without electricity?

Post by Zacke »

Hey guys,

today I realized there's no boiling steam if you have no electricity on the Spit (empty battery). I can hear the boiling sound but the steam effect is only visible if you connect the trolley accumulator or load the battery via the hangar.

Is this one intended and realistic?

Thanks,
Zacke

No, not intentional, I'll test it.

The steam is the result of a thermostat and pressure valve opening, so is not reliant on electricity in the real aircraft.


Flat battery and boiled??? You ARE giving her a workout, aren't you Zacke :) :) :)

Thanks for you're response.

Yes, that was the result of my extensive prime-start-shutdown-restart-tests.

Regards,
Zacke
