Well I didn’t do an Air start. The message just popped up on rotation today. And I didn’t go away till landing 2h later. Nothing drained or discharged though. And as I said I didn’t see a fault on the ELEC page either

No one else has this issue?

Were the engine starters left on, that is a common MSFS issue for all planes.
That will drain the batteries.

No. Starter selector switch was set to off.

Had this on one flight. Elec Bat Disch came up the moment i rotate and stays there til the point of touch down then it mysteriously went off lol. Went through all the check list cant find anything.

That’s exactly the way it was for me. Had this twice already

Had the exact same issue on 3 of 4 flights.

I have this problem whenever I start on a runway and then switch to Cold And Dark. I can get rid of the message by setting a binding to MASTER BATTERY ON. It does nothing in the cockpit, but seems to flip a flag under the hood.

I haven’t had the problem since the update

Got this immediately on takeoff it went away as soon as I changed the PWR MGT system from TO to CLB and CRZ as standard. Stayed off the rest of the flight.

I had it happen yesterday after I caused a tailstrike on takeoff. It didn‘t go away for the remainder of the flight.
