TEST page

[cns180784]

Does anyone actually bother with this during any flight? and reading about it in the Dash-1 manual doesnt explain very well how it works. Looking at the picture it shows in the manual, what is BLKR? ISA? and this…. Fault type. This is the first mnemonic that’s appears on the F-ACK list. What is the F-ACK list? and what does it mean by mnemonic? test number that failed…how is that relevant? number of failures? and do these faults mean that those relevant systems arent working for whatever reason?

Not normally as the BIT is just cosmetic AFAIK.

Thanks didnt realize i could google these abbreviations lol

So by cosmetic the TEST page isnt really implemented i take it as with being a sim, i’d imagine faults wouldnt occur unless my plane got banged up by AAA or something.

@Pops1stVFW:

I use it to get my flight time. Entries are made for takeoff time and landing time referencing the start time (00:00:00) being the time you got in the pit. So if your takeoff entry shows 20 minutes after you get in the pit and the landing entry shows 1 hour and 20 minutes, you had a flight time of 1 hour.

Or if you have “random failures” enabled in your cfg.

Where is this cfg?

Where to see if random failures are enabled?

Small reminder: “random failures” is a debug feature and is nothing realistic.

Shhhh… then what do I blame for my Foxtrot Uniforms?

Look in dash-1 for F-ACK. Do a search for the word. Also there is a lot to read starting on p157 about faults.
