During the development of the Bronco it was hard to understand
exactly how the system interacted so the systems coder Finn decided
to make a simple schematic instrument that shows how it works. We
have gotten so used to it we decided to keep it in the released code.
We even decided not to make it look refined so you get an idea of
how we code these complex systems. You can open it with [SHIFT]-[3]
and when you move your mouse over the switches and busses you will
see where you can click. Most switches can be operated (sometimes
with left and right mouse buttons) and when you click on a bus
(vertical thick red line) you will see what’s connected to it. When a bus
or supply “string” is unpowered it is blue, while being red when
powered. Actual voltage and ampere load can be read for each bus as
well as batteries and generators.The best way to see it in action is to
open it, select Cold & Dark and then select ready to taxi. The aircraft
will go through the whole startup sequence and you see the genera-
tors and busses come online. When all is running, start disconnecting
things and see how the systems are affected. The real Bronco drivers
would have loved something like this!
