REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. turn on avionics (all switches)
    2.turn on pitot heat, fuel pumps, engines on
    3.alternators on
  2. the low voltage doesn’t disappear, it actually flashes and beeps even more frequently

• same issue here. will post if i find a solution.

Found the solution (in my case):
Thrustmaster Aribus Throttle Quadrant had multiple controls assigned ENG MASTER LEFT and RIGHT. I removed the STARTER 1 and 2 controls, which solved the problem.

Explanation: With the default behavior (STARTERS assigned), both starters would be cranking all the time and therefore putting a heavy load on the electric system. Hence the 'VOLTS LOW? warning. With the new setting (STARTER 1 & 2 not assigned), the 2 switches set ENG MASTER and FUEL VALVE ON. From there just hit the START button on the dash or assign start buttons to CRANK AND IGN/START on the throttle quadrant.

Cheers,
Chris

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes’ish.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• In my case, this bug only happens during consecutive flights without going back to the main menu. I’m using an Xbox controller with keyboard and mouse. I saw the comment about the throttle quadrant binding issue, but doubt mine is the same because it doesn’t happen on first start and I use mouse controls for engine start.

My reproduction steps:

  1. Start engines and observe all systems normal.
  2. Shut down the engines. Doing so manually or with the hot key shortcut doesn’t seem to matter.
  3. Restart the engines and observe the constantly flashing low voltage alert. Starting manually or using the hot key shortcut doesn’t matter.
