February 1, 20179 yr Hi, First of all, many thanks to the PMDG team for this incredible aircraft, absolutely amazing :smile: I just have a "small" issue when I try to load the panel-state "LONG". When I select this panel-state and press EXEC, the gpu appears. But as soon as the countdown is finished, the gpu vanishes again, and I don't have ground power anymore. I tried to use the LONG turn state with the 747-400 and 747-400F version. I use P3D v3.4, Win7 Cheers Dominik Stahel Dominik
February 1, 20179 yr I'm not getting the same thing; however, the solution is easy. Simply create your own panel state. I create two for all of my fleet: GAP is ground air and power such as at a gate, doors open, empty aircraft; and a GAPSV for the 744 which is same as GAP but adds service vehicles. Cargos have similar panel states. Dan Downs KCRP

February 2, 20179 yr Author Creating my own panel state is a possible solution, but I would still like to know why the long turn state doesn't seem to be working correctly. You using GSX when this happens? I have GSX installed, but I wait until the aircraft is fully initialized before I use GSX. First I wait until the countdown for the default state is finished, then I switch to the long turn state and wait for the countdown to finish. After that I start GSX. Dominik Stahel Dominik
February 2, 20179 yr Commercial Member After that I start GSX. This is why. GSX interferes with our ground service vehicles and will make them disappear, thus, taking your power with it. For now, it's one or the other. We're working with them to address the issue, though. Kyle Rodgers
February 2, 20179 yr Author Hi, Thanks for your reply. However, I just tested without GSX (uninstalled it for now), but its exactly the same. When I choose long turn and EXEC, the GPU is connected (both external Power switches show avail) but as soon as the countdown reaches 0 the GPU model outside vanishes, and the avail signs as well. (the aircond. unit is always there after the countdown). Well, I will make my own panel-state for now, or I start in C&D state. Cheers Dominik Stahel Dominik
February 2, 20179 yr Author I think I have found the issue. Its not GSX, I had in the PMDG Setup Tab in "Options - Simulation" on page 10 the option "ground service objects" switched to "show selected" and I had GRND POWER switched to hide. I think I switched it to hide by accident, when I tested some options with the ground service vehicles. :smile: Now I can stop sitting around at the gate and start flying this beauty! Dominik
