PMDG MD-11
GROUND CONNECTIONS
In order to give you greater in-game control of the external electric and
pneumatic power sources that might be plugged into your PMDG MD-
11, we have added some convenient controls in the FS ACTION
SHORTCUTS area of the MCDU.
Ground connections can be managed automatically or manually by
toggling either AUTO or BY REQUEST as the desired POWER/AIR
MODE on the left side of the screen.
If AUTO is selected, then the right side of the display will show you the
current status of the system. You can also determine the current status
by looking at your overhead panel. When in AUTO mode, the
simulation will determine based on the configuration of the aircraft
whether electrical or pneumatic power are required.
If you select BY REQUEST, then on the right side of the display you will
have the option to CONNECT or DISCONNECT the associated source.
NOTE: When in a cold & dark situation (unpowered aircraft) the
MCDU is not functioning and you cannot access any page. We
have made an exception here to give you the ability to request
external power: You must turn on the battery (pushing the BATT
switch on the overhead electrical panel). If you then press the
MENU key on the MCDU the GROUND CONNECTIONS page will
automatically appear, allowing you to request external power.
