HawkEye22 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hi, I followed the IniBuild "Return to Airliner part 1" video. And after the APU has started up and I turn on the APU Bleed for the PACKS, the APU line goes green, the selector does it's thing, but the PACKS do not come on. I then tried to re-install the Enhanced pack again, then it worked! I was able to complete the tutorial. However, today I had the same issue. I tried re-installing the base and enhanced pack, but unfortunately.. the issue remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Heya, this indeed does sound a bit weird. When it happens again, could you please send me a screenshot of your BLEED ECAM page as well as the overhead please? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammac Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hi, Thanks for your post did you have your ASU selected on the EFB from the ground options page. If so that might have caused this.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkEye22 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hi Cammac, I can't say on the top of my head, I think it was. I will test it tonight. You are saying it doesn't need to be connected then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to expand my, still very limited, Airbus knowledge! 😉 Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourakk Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Hi, The Air Start Unit purpose is to start the engine by providing pressurized air. It is not intented to to provide "clean air" for the air conditioning system, same for Boeing aircraft btw. Like the common air compressor found in garage the air coming out smells bad because it is contamined by the oil which lubricates the compressor. Air conditioning on ground can be provided by the APU (very noisy) if running but also by preconditioned air unit (less noisy but still noisy ^^), you can easily recognized them with their big yellow pipes coming out. Hope it helps Edited November 16, 2022 by Yourakk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourakk Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Ah ! Finally found the note in the FCOM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkEye22 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Thank you, Yourakk! So, when the ASU is connected and the APU is running, they won't come on til you start the engines, got it! The FCOM is something that IniBuilds supplied, as well? I must have missed that! I did find their manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
