I created a GPU to work with P46T and huge thank you to the brilliance of Doug Dawson who created and share the battery charger dll. so no more depleted battery if you dont have FSUIP4, extended battery life setting or unrealistic aircraft.cfg setting to give you battery life for ever.

 

FSX battery deplete very quickly and if you really take your time with proper start up

you would have found that by the time you wnat to start the engines, then your C90 do

not have sufficiant power to start the plane

 

current workarounds:

- Most use FSUIP4 with setting "Extend battery life indefinitely"

- Manually add an entry to the FSX plane aircraft.cfg under [ELECTRICAL] section

electrical_always_available=1

 

 

NOTE: CONDITION for gauge to do its work..!

 

for this gauge to work properly so that you can actually see battery power depletes and being charged

both FSUIP4 entry for battery life indefinitely on, must be switch off and the aircraft.cfg file must not have the

entry "electrical_always_available=1"

 

 

 

It has been uploaded to avsim. I dont know when it will be available, should be available in day or two. so check the library under FSX gauges

 

 

Illustration on how it work

 

NOTE: THIS will ONLY work if the plane is stationary. Once the plane moves and you have not decoupled the GPU the system will automatically decouple the GPU and switch off the battery charger.

 

Electrifying!

 

Nice work.

Can't find the dll file in the download.

have you read the instructions..

 

1) Download Doug Dawson Battery charger gauge

http://www.douglassdawson.ca/

 

It is called "battery_charger, v1.1.0, April 20, 2012"

 

extract the battery charger download and add the gauge

"dsd_battery_charger.dll" to the fsx "Gauges" folder
