No EXT power connection

Featured Replies

Hello there,First of all congratulations for your product.I am lost as I can not find what I am missing.After starting from Cold & Dark, opening FS2Crew and setting up the configuration panel to start from EXT/AC and clicking PF, ext power and air cond are not connected. I have read all the manuals and instructions but no way.Could you please explain to me what I am doing wrong?Thanks a lot.Iñigo Bayo

Does the F/O interact with the aircraft in any way after that ?

Yes, F/O does all the flows but power is not connected.Another problem is that I can not select degrees for tail turn in pushback configuration.Just uninstalled and installed again. Just in case...Iñigo Bayo

Hi,I have the same problem. When I select EXT/AC to power up the plane, the FO bypasses this step. But I noticed that after reloading the flight, chosing the Cold and Dark situation in the FMC and selecting "Pushback" or Pushback and Start" in the FSCrew config panel, the FO executes the power up. Selecting "No pushback" doesn't work.Anyway that's not a great issue and I can connect the external power by myself.Daniel.

Alternative solution but it also can be connected with FMC. I always start from fully Cold & Dark. Please try to fix it for future service pack or patch.Thanks for your answer.Iñigo Bayo

Hello,Don't forget you should have the chocks in to get external power !But I have the same issue, with the ext/ac option the FO doesn't connect the ext power to the buses during his preflight flow. Need to connect it by myself.Using the VM panel, I don't have air conditioning neither, need to get it via the CDU menu.One other thing I notice, If chocks are out,(so no ext pwr available),Fo toggles the ext power switch (on the upper panel) twice during his preflight routine ! Hope this help.Anyway, as usual you' ve done a must have, Bryan, thank you !CheersGeorges
