I have one Fokker of a problem...

[Guest]

Sorry guys, I could not resist.Anyways, it seems that my battery either shuts off or go's dead when I start to taxi. Any ideas what might be happening? The engines are still running fine but I have no electrical. No gear retraction, flaps, avionics, the works. I looked over the manuel with no luck. I am more then likly just missing something simple.http://www3.telus.net/dport1/Radar_small.gifFS2K2 = The best add-on for RADAR CONTACT ver.3http://www3.telus.net/dport1/Radar_small.gifhttp://www3.telus.net/dport1/dansig.jpg

Hi Dan,You might try going to the FSUIPC technical tab page. There is an option there that might help you avoid this issue in future. Look under Additional facilities and you should see an option for "extending battery life indefinitely."Mike :-wave

I know what your speaking of Mike, and I thank you for your help.The problem is I would like to see a more realiastic solution. If we could just make a software change in real life to extend battery life it would be a winner. :-lolhttp://www3.telus.net/dport1/Radar_small.gifFS2K2 = The best add-on for RADAR CONTACT ver.3http://www3.telus.net/dport1/Radar_small.gifhttp://www3.telus.net/dport1/dansig.jpg

The manual says to click the battery switch on the panel when you load the aircraft, did you do that :-hmmm If you did, I have no idea...Kitty MercuryCathay Pacific Virtual Pilot (CX252)
