External power pulled off too early

[AirbusCG 52]

Using SOP set 3. I waited with the APU start until the closure of the L1 door (as done in this airline in real life).

When the FO asked me if I wanted to start the APU I replied okay and she started it.

A few seconds later the ground crew pulled the power out, leaving me without AC power.

Looks like an issue here, in real life the ground crew would never simply disconnect the GPU, they would always ask if you wanted it removed (either by hand signal or over the headset).

Re-visiting this one...

I think what happened is this:

At time remaining = 0, FS2Crew will remove the chocks.

In the PMDG, removing the chocks automatically results in the ground equipment being auto removed.

However, I programmed it so the chocks will only be removed if:

1. The chocks are in.

2. Air start cart not connected

3. APU running and APU Gen Light Off.

 

I'm wondering if you fast forwarded the time down and tripped it up by doing so?

I did not forward the time in this one as far as I remember.

There is a small time interval between the APU being more or less steady and ON and the APU GEN OFF light coming ON. Could this maybe be the issue?

Possibly... I just finished the 1.1. beta... do you want to try it and see if it happens again?
