More detailed JF videos please

A simple request for a couple more detailed in-depth videos from Just Flight to explain in more detail
I've watched every streamer, read the manual and followed the checklists - got started (manually), flew and landed - lovely product but some of the areas are very complex and utterly different to any other...

The electrical station and required procedures. The concept of synchronising and isolating alternators is mandated but not really explained. I can isolate by pressing a button but synchronising multiple alternators is said to be required but I see no explanation what it means or how to actually do it?
-
I sorta kinda get the "HSI" and a/p function but again, a step by step worked example of tracking a VOR, Tacan, heading bug and ILS would shortcut the process a lot.
I suspect a streamer will cover the latter hence my prioritisation of the electrical system. If a video is too much then real step by step on the checklist would help somewhat using the highlight function to show each button in turn to be pressed for synchro management etc.
Thanks

Totally agree. I have yet to find a video that explains the electrical system. They either ignore it with a "here's one I made earlier" approach, or they show ways of circumventing the correct procedure. You may as well press "Ready for TO". This is fine if you want to kick the tires and light the fires, but surely the whole point of a complex simulation is to master the procedures.

Yes - each streamer does it differently - ie just watched Becketts' abbreviated startup procedure one and it worked but he did not touch the TRUs at all which may or may not matter - unsure how linked the systems actually are. To be clear I'm not bothered if they aren't - I think the immersion level on this is spot on for my tastes, I just really want to know the how and the why accurately.
I did re-read the electrical section earlier and it made a little more sense but I still have questions. Also applies to the air systems with "enable port or starboard" before t/o etc. Happy to do that but would like to know what it does etc.
Anyway - not moaning, I love the plane and enjoy making them work so that's today taken care of :-)

We are still planning to do our usual tutorial series video for the Vulcan that will go through the tutorial flight in the manual and those will cover the electrical system, navigation systems, etc.
We always try to get the tutorial videos out pre-release, but unfortunately, there weren't enough hours in the day prior to release this time! We're aiming to get the tutorial series videos completed and released early next week.

"it worked but he did not touch the TRUs at all which may or may not matter - unsure how linked the systems actually are"
The electrical system is fully modelled/simulated. Without the TRUs switched on, DC electrical power will be supplied instead by the battery, unless on the ground with the GPU connected, so eventually you'd drain the battery and lose DC electrical power.
