Brief description of the issue:

When parked the GPU truck is in front of you and you call it moves into position and connects but never really powers up and have battery drain. However its in a GA parking spot. If parked at the gate it does work most times. I feel most Larger GA airports Should Have GPU for Pre-Flight even at the Regionals or Internationals unless you are at a Gate you wont have it.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Park CJ4 at a larger airport that has GPU truck and in FMC it shows power Unavailable however the truck will move into position when called but never powers up.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

I just checked a few Gates with the Default CJ4 and Called the GPU truck Via Radio. It moved into position at KDSM at Gate 16. It never powered up and showed Battery Drain. So I don’t believe it is working.

Thank you Scot

I don’t have deep knowledge about jet aircraft and all their systems but I found this post explaining where in the FMC to activate the ground power for the Cj4:

Starting at KDSM Gate 16, powering up the aircraft you can see that external power is available (even without calling the power supply, that the way the sim is designed regarding external power).
If OFF selected, the battery drains:

If ON selected, battery does not drain:

Hope it can help, please correct me if I am wrong.

In my CJ4 it says not available. Let me do some checking I do have a couple of Tweaks such as and Aircraft enhancement for door opening and Push Back tool

I found it. It was the New Light Aircraft Lighting Enhancement I’ve Reported it over there on FS.TO
