A special treat for those enjoying emergencies in space - there's now a viable simulation of a fire in an avionics bay.
Here's the SM SYS SUMM 1 display showing the increasing smoke concentration in avbay 2 (and to a lesser degree in the other detectors) during the second fire test.
(upper left, the alarm trips as soon as the value reaches above 2.0, here we have 7.9)
The fire can be extinguished by applying halon, that's already simulated, and if unchecked it will destroy gradually more and more equipment in the avionics bay (that's also simulated) - what's sill missing is tripping the HW smoke detection and hooking up the in-cockpit switches to apply halon.
(As a side note, I realize just this moment that now finally all values on this page are driven by actually simulated data...)
