ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
- Electrically the HV and LV system are connected. The engine’s drain both systems. The LV system should only be charged by the two turbo props, but not used for driving the electrical engines. If the HV System goes black, so does the LV system.
- If the electrical motors loose power, due to batteries being almost empty, it seams like the two turboprops loose power too. Changes on the lever of those two engines don’t really influence the airspeed. At one point the plane simply goes dark. But this is only an impression, since the plane lacks instruments, for the engines and batteries (already reported).
- I managed about 300NM before the plane went dark. 444NM should be possible according to the manufacturer.
It did not matter, if the plane was fully fueled or only halve fueled at start. - Once I go completely dark while flying, I am able to switch on external power supply. Nice feature, but not realistic while in the air.
- Drag of the landing gear is unrealistic. Hard to climb or even accelerate while extended. Completely different once retracted.
- It is possible to add fuel during the flight, but apparently this does not go for battery charge.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
- Heart Aerospace ES-30 Hybrid Aircraft
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
-Yes
# FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
- Every time i fly this plane
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Flight ZRH (Dep: ZUEG2) ==> HAM (ARR: NOLG2D APP: ILS15 via DH457), exactly 444NM as specified by manufacturer.
- Climb to FL220, cruise speed as specific 300kts TAS
- Clear sky
- After 215NM (53min since start) the engines first loose power. The power loss might be realistic, speed drops to about 153kts, also fine, but I did not expect it that early.
( I tried once FL170 and 180kts, did not really change the range, although it should) - 31min later after 1h 22min of flight the airplane goes dark. Although I had enough fuel and the two turbo props are running. It does not matter if I fly with 50% or 100% fuel at start.
Only Influence is if the two switches external power for LV and HV system are switched on during the flight. This extends the range slightly.
