External Power

Featured Replies

Is there anyway to make the external power switch work? I'd like to be able to setup the radios, GPS, etc without burning fuel.

[electrical]electric_always_available = 0set to =1 in the aircraft.cfg could help.I have the FSUIPC set to unlimited battery, but this above setting could do the same for you without the need to buy the registered FSUIPC.

thanks

Although I know that this is a good way to model having a GPU hooked up, is there anyway to model it like Eaglesoft DG did with their Citation II or like like any of the jets that offer GPU options? I know Carenado is a bit newer to the turbine powered territory so I wouldn't expect the bells and whistles like this but it might be nice to add to later projects especially the C90 (or retrofit it to the C208). Hehe nobody likes to drain the plane's battery sitting there on the ground inputting all the flight data or even worse burning the Jet A and doing the same thing!

I doubt that a GPU is available at more than 10% of the places a 208 (or even a C90) can go. Furthermore renting a GPU for even 30min isn't for free. You need staff to move it etc....Doesn't make much sense to implement this feature.
