ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: I noticed this evening when flying the Skyhawk 172 G1000 variant, the electrical system was showing incorrect M amps. It was showing -57, even with the alternator working, engine running. Even with a fresh restart I could see this. This was not previously an issue prior to SU7.
After further review, it affects the classic version too. See pics.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time I load up
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
It feels like this may be another symptom of a larger bug impacting multiple planes. See the Longitude bug recently created, sounding similar. Vision Jet, too. Perhaps these will all end up being the same underlying issue.
Interesting that this is happening in both versions of the C172. Has anyone checked whether the battery voltage actually drops over time, or if it’s just the ammeter displaying incorrect values? That might help narrow down whether it’s an electrical system issue or simply an indication bug.
Both flights I did (one of the flights was almost two hours$, the M amps on the G1000 stayed the same the entire time at -17. When I cycled the alternator off and on, it would drop a single amp and then return right back. My short flight with the classic, it stayed as it was shown in the pic.
Thanks for the details! The fact that it stays at -17A even during a nearly two-hour flight is interesting, especially since cycling the alternator only changes the reading briefly.
That makes me wonder if the issue is related to the electrical system logic rather than an actual battery discharge.
Did you happen to notice whether the battery voltage remained stable throughout the flight, or if you experienced any electrical equipment failures? That could help narrow things down further.
