After a lot of work and a long pause the Twin Otter now has a JSBSim variant! | |||
* JSBSim FDM with data by Erik Hofmann from [http://jsbsim.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jsbsim/JSBSim/aircraft/DHC6/ jsbsim.cvs.sourceforge.net] and [[Aeromatic]] | |||
* Realistic fuel system implementation in JSBSim | |||
* Electrical system update: | |||
** Main Battery bus, always connected to electrical system | |||
** Battery/External Power bus, operate starter motors and switches between battery and external power | |||
** Left 28 V DC bus, recieves power from Battery/External power bus or left generator, proviedes power to No.1 static inverter | |||
** Right 28 V DC bus, recieves power from right generator, provides power to No.2 static inverter | |||
** 26V AC Bus, recieves power from No.1 or No.2 static inverter | |||
** 115 V AC Bus, recieves power from No.1 or No.2 static inverter | |||
** Bus tie switch: When "NORMAL" power gets distributed between left and right 28 V DC bus, i.e. left bus feeds right bus when right generator is offline and right bus feeds left bus when left generator and battery and external power are offline. When "OPEN" Left bus only feeds left bus and right bus only feeds right bus, i.e. there is no power distribution. | |||
** Circuit breakers are now included in the electrical system. So every consumer (e.g. Boost pumps, lights, Radios, Hydraulic oil pump, stall warning, caution lights, wipers, et al) has influence on the power consumption and can be deactivated individually by deactivating the respective C/B. | |||
* Pneumatic system: | |||
** Bleed air pressure is directly dependent on turbine RPM | |||
** Intake deflectors need at least 50 psi to extend. Intake deflector switch must be held to "Extend" for at least 4 seconds. | |||
