Ted,That is correct. It did not pan out for me. I'm not going to rant and rave about it...cause there are work arounds. Still hope that this minor issue can be resolved without having to put more $$ into it.One thing I have not tried is starting FS with everything running, then shutting down the plane in a normal manner, and then starting the APU back up. Has anyone tried this? Does the power stay on...or is this happening whenever only the APU is running? Thanks everyone!

LOL @ Ted...that is what I have been doing...frantically doing my preflight cause I'm watching my fuel burn, baggage handlers die and luggage pieces being strewn all over the tarmac. :D And then I have to make sure I'm pulling from the center tank, otherwise I become lopsided (not that much, but still...)

>Hi Gerrit,>>Thanks for this tip but i've tried it immediately and you>guess... same result ! After aprox. 4-5 minutes..pfffft all>power gone.>>Paul>(falconxx):) Yeah, that's bad luck. I'm searching for what exactly i did the last couple a days because i changed only the .cfg for the PMDG but all other aircrafts battery's won't run dry either. I see the voltage slowly drop to zero but everything keeps working. Strange fs world. Gerrit

ChrisI`m running 2002 only with these sorts of things as part of the reason.Sorry Ted

No prob!
