Disable battery drain (or easier ground power unit for all aircraft)

Battery drain seems too quick on most aircraft. Need some way to not drain the battery while on the ground getting the airplane set up for engine start.

Should be easier to turn on a ground power unit for all aircraft (please separate ground services from ATC!), or even better an additional option under:

Options > Assistance > Aircraft Systems > Unlimited Battery
(Similar to unlimited fuel)

I’d prefer the bizjets having access to Ground Power Unit. According to Cessna’s CJ4 manual you can plug a GPU to the CJ4.

cant find this option??

Checkout the CJ4 WT Mod it has GPU now.

How can I activate/connect this GPU to the CJ4? Is it possible at every airport/every park position?

Get the WT Mod for the CJ4 here (Working Title FS Packages)

You can enable the GPU when you are in valid parking spot in the FMS.

still voted so that the feature gets added to the default planes

I have it, and am a huge fan of that project. But this option should be part of the sim and apply to all aircraft. Not something dependent on which mod you have.

You can always just re-load the plane (and get one with a fully charged battery)

If the battery is dead there’s no option though? Ctrl shift q doesn’t do anything.
