Air intake and pitot covers timing during shutdown/startup.
v 1.1.3
I just noticed that during engine shutdown the red covers appear prior to the rotor head reach a stand-still position.
This looks unrealistic and somewhat "hectic" ... a slight adjustment of the timing could make it look a lot more realistic.
The same applies to the startup phase.
Miltech Simulations @MiltechSimulationsIf engines are turned on with Pitot Covers on (CDU - ACFT INIT - MENU 3), as soon as engines shut down, the covers will automatically appear. To avoid this, turn off pitot covers on the CDU and toggle it manually.
@nenenuiI did not know that I can disable the covers, however adding such a feature was not what I was proposing (requesting).
I was mainly trying to point out that the timing which the present animations have is very unrealistic … because e.g. the air intake covers pop up while the blades are still rotating (= the turbine is still running and sucking air inwards)
A slightly tweaked timing of the animations would make it more realistic.
