[Guest sssagc]

Hi to all,I've just got the PSS AirbusPro last week; however there's seems to be a bug ( or at least I think so ). Okay here goes....Battery power runs out even though APU charges them fully to 28V.Displays remain on but external lights and radio conks out after a few minutes.Extending battery life is not possible for the FSUIPC downloaded is not a registered copy and requires an activation key. Please assistThanx.RegardsClovis

Hello Clovis,The battery issue is a known limitation of Flight Sim.If you are unable to obtain (purchase) a registered copy of FSUIPC at this time I can offer the following tips.The quick fix is to do a CTRL-M This reactivates the electricIf you have the registered version of FSUIPC, click the "dead battery fix" check box.If not, then you can edit the A320 aircraft.cfg and add the lineelectric_always_available=1 to the ELECTRICAL setion.I hope this helps,regards,

I haven't heard of this problem. Are you enabling ground power then APU? When you get the APU up and running, are you leaving the battery switches to "on"? Not meant to be stupid or sarcastic questions. Just wondering what you are doing that would cause the batteries to drain dead.

It's a known FS problem, not one that is caused by pilot actions. There are plenty of threads here and elsewhere about it an hopefully after FSX comes out it won't re-appear.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk
