I know that Pete Dowson solved the problem of limited battery time in FS9 long ago and the earlier freeware versions of FSUIPC included an option to choose unlimited battery time. But that option in the freeware version disappeared when Pete made the full version into payware. Other than buying the full version of FSUIPC does anyone know of a fix for this annoying issue? The Wilco 737 PIC has an option to choose unlimited battery time so I know it can be done. It's no big deal but it's frustrating to save a flight in "cold and dark" condition and then not be able to start engines when you select that saved flight because the battery is "dead." Any help with this would be much appreciated.

You can do it for a particular aircraft by adding 'electric_always_available = 1' to the [electrical] section of the acft.cfg, but I don't know a way of making it "across the board" loke FSUIPC does.Jim

HelloYou can do as Jim describes.Or you can download an excellent freeware FS tweaker called Flusifix.One of its many options is one to add the unlimited battery life fix(as per Jim's description)but automatically.Good if you are not happy with cfg editing.cheers Andy

HelloThere is an English version,and although it is a little hard to follow the authors translation its pretty easy to understand what he is trying to say about the various tweaks,fixes and there application in FS9.Its one of the best tweakers IMHO.CHEERS Andy

Thanks for all the great info guys. I'm okay with changing the aircraft.cfg files but will also give Flusifix a try. I confess I had never heard of it and am intrigued.. I really appreciate all the responses - you guys are great! :(
