Have a good night!

There might be an issue existing now when you start from a parking spot, cold and dark. After about 10-15 minutes all panels shut off, power is lost to panels. landing gear cant be put down, etc. I have an idea of what the fix potentially would be, but want to see if anyone else experiences this, before code gets changed. This only happens 10-15 min after flying, and when you load into a parking spot, not the runway, as all the systems needed to fly are already on.

Happy to do this, anyone else on board?

Thank you, just confirming its not just my machine that it happens on. Will look more into it tomorrow. I believe I know how to correct it. These apron flt files are tricky.

Thanks for checking, really appreciate it. @moxiejeff

This actually happened to me yesterday, but it never happened again. However tonight I was cruising at 43,000 AP, ALT, and NAV on when all of a sudden AP stopped working and wouldnā€™t re-engage and plane just slowly plunged into the sea.

Ok all, fixed the issue I found above. Loading into a parking spot cold and dark, after start up and airborne, panels would turn off after 10-15 min. Changed the values in the lines I believed to be causing the issue, and problem solved. Currently there are no generator switches working in the base plane, so I had to set the generators to be on from the time you load into the apron. Nothing you will notice, and doesnt effect the start up. CTRL-E still working fine. Did a test flight non stop for 45 min to make sure. Panels on the entire time.

This was only effecting planes starting from a parking spot or ā€œapronā€. No other load ins were effected, runway, mid air spawn in, etc.

Will get fixed in all appropriate files and a patch will be sent out sometime in the next few hours.

Only change since 1.01G was changing values on generator line on all models, in the apron.flt files. To fix the problem described above.
No other changes were made.

Is that the default US World Update Niagara Falls or a 3rd party add on? Iā€™m very impressed either way :+1:
