There is no way to request or activate a GPU. The 2020 version of this aircraft has a GPU. The Asobo/WT version has a door that opens on the left side of the aircraft for a GPU. But there is no option to request a GPU. There’s also no way to call for a GPU or electric service or electric truck from any parking space at a major airport. There also doesn’t seem to be any way to active the GPU from the cockpit. The 2020 version of this aircraft had a tablet stored on the left side of the cockpit that would enable all sorts of things like the cabin layout, the look of the cargo (weekend trip vs snowboard trip, etc), and it would enable the GPU. But this tablet is now missing. The TV in the ceiling does not drop down anymore.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Every time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Load flight with aircraft on ground in cold/dark state
Look for GPU or a way to activate it and fail.
Open the small GPU access door on the left side of the aircraft
Access ground services from either a medium or large parking space at a major airport
Fail to find any services that look like GPU or power truck
Watch the electricity drain from your battery in a few minutes as you frantically search every system and sub-system and menu in the Garmin G1000 but come up empty.
Search for the missing tablet in the interior
Watch the right screens go dark as the electricity is now too low to start the aircraft.
Go into the cargo menu of the aircraft in the EFB and load up the max amount of weight
Save the new cargo and load immediately.
Look in the cargo hold and see that nothing visual was added (this was a feature of the 2020 version that is now missing).
Go into the back seat and try to lower the TV from the ceiling. The TV is there, but the clickspot doesn’t work.
Quit the game in sadness

All the items you mentioned are unique to the FlightFX Vision Jet, which is not core to MSFS 2020 - it is a Third Party product.
When Microsoft obtained the Vision Jet assets from FlightFX for use in MSFS 2024, they had control over what was retained and modified. The MSFS 2024 Jet is very different in certain features, but that’s not a bug. Those were deliberate decisions by Microsoft.
It’s a deliberate choice to remove the GPU and let the aircraft run out of power after a few min? I have contacted FlightFX and they said the aircraft was based on their 2020 version. I understand that this new version eliminated certain features, but why? It makes no sense to remove the GPU.
I’d also like to support the author of this discussion. I would really like to see the features from the 2020 version brought into the aircraft as well. It would be truly great.
