APU not starting

Featured Replies

Greetings all,

 

I was trying to do a flight, but was having problems starting the APU.  I started from the "short" state (actually, it was a modified short state....I changed a few things for my tastes. Among those changes was to start with the GPUs connected, and the APU off.). This change shouldn't have affected anything, I would hope. However, I cannot start the APU, even after waiting for a while. Here are some screen shots....Any ideas what happened, or is this part of the APU bug that is already known?

 

Many thanks.

And how long did you wait?

 

After turning the start switch there's a time lag until the APU is starting. Then there's a lag until it's fully up and running. No earlier will the electric system "switch over".

 

You can monitor the APU start in the STAT display, upselected on the DSP.

Did you hold the switch to on for a second?

Yep.....I've started the APU many times before, just cant figure out what's happening here.

Yep, that was the issue. I had read your post before you modified it (with the link), and recalled shutting down the APU and saving the state. Obviously, I didn't wait long enough for the APU to totally shut down. I've since corrected it, tested it, everything is fine.

 

Many thanks.
