When I hear "loose electrical", I immediately think you are suffering from the infamous "dead battery syndrome". The dead battery syndrome has been around since FS2000. This is more likely to happen to you in an aircraft like this, where during normal ground procedures you will need to be sitting on the tarmac without the engines running for more than a couple minutes while you work the systems.Unfortunately, Microsoft decided not to fix the electrical system in FS2002 for some reason. There is one genius who has devised a fix for this and other simulator problems, and that is Mr Pete Dowson who created the "FSUIPC" module. This module allows you to use the electrical system by applying a "NO FLAT BATTERY" fix. FSUIPC is a freeware file and is available from Pete's web site : that URL is :http://www.simugold.fsnet.co.uk/fsuipc.htmlhttp://www.fsheartland.net/images/Signature_F1.jpg
