Main AI and standby AI fails when vacuum pump fails
-
I just had a vacuum pump failure in the Blacksquare bonanza. However not only did the attitude indicator fail but also the standby indicator. I found it odd when troubleshooting the failure that the gryo warning light came on but I had both attitude indicators fail. In most airplanes that I'm aware of, the standby AI is on a separate system, normally dc electric. Is this intentional for this airplane by the developers or is this a bug?

@drewh10 Reply from the developer for you:
I recall looking into this while creating the Bonanza. I discovered that Asobo effectively un-did their own method for creating a DC powered attitude indicator, which would make my life very difficult to implement one. I do agree that the co-pilot's side should be DC powered, and that has a lot of utility in my aircraft with all the failures, so I will look into this today.
Thanks for the feedback.

@voice-of-reason Hey, thanks for the prompt reply. I just wanted to say that this is simply an amazing plane and I'm using it exclusively to practice instrument proficiency at home. Thanks for all the work you guys have put in to make it happen. It does not go unnoticed!
