Modular Hydraulics System - APU driven pump does not work and is not documented

Version: 1.1.10.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Bug description:
I am working on a native MSFS 2024 aircraft.
When setting a new modular hydraulics system, I need to create a hydraulic pump driven by the APU.
Even though this choice is possible from the simulator (in SimObject editor), Type: APUDriven is not documented in the SDK (see below).
In addition, I cannot get this pump working even though I checked the APU is started.

Here is the declaration inside systems.cfg:

[HYDRAULICS_SYSTEM_EX1]
Version = 1
...
Pump.3 = Name:PGTG#Type:APUDriven#NormalPressure:2755#NominalDisplacement:700

Are APU driven pumps supported or not?

Thanks

Hello @R-AzurPoly

APU driven hydraulic pump implementation appears to be incomplete.
I think the corresponding editor option was exposed a bit too soon.
I have a logged a ticket so the core engine team can have a look at this.

Sylvain
