February 27, 20206 yr Hi all, After setting the DA42 to Cold and dark after a flight, The MFD is still active. Is that the norm? Regards, Fred Fleuren

February 28, 20206 yr Author Well, it turned off this time applying manual shut down procedures by turning off the alternator switches and than the av master switch. Regards, Fred Fleuren
March 1, 20206 yr Author Hmm.. I spoke too soon. It still happens not all the time though. I also noticed that at the start of the flight I turned the cabin lights on and the lights showed but the lights showed as off even though I had them on prior to shutdown. This only happens when the issue of the MFD is active after complete cold and dark shutdown.. Edited March 1, 20206 yr by Fearless Regards, Fred Fleuren
March 2, 20206 yr When using the menus I've noticed that the results can be very inconsistent with some switches not being recognized and their action being reversed, especially when using them during normal ops. Only reloading helps in this case.
March 2, 20206 yr Commercial Member Once upon a time, when I used FSX and I had installed traffic collected from a large number of free models, sometimes it happened that when I turn off all the avionics and batteries, a complete shutdown did not occur. Later it turned out that one of the options in the aircraft.cfg file of many traffic models makes the power supply always on. When such an aircraft is located close to the aircraft that we use for fly, it may affect our aircraft and the power supply may not turn off. I've never noticed this in P3D. But just in case such a problem is noticed, you can try to disable all traffic and see if the problem disappears or not. Nick Bebyakin / Handmade cameraset - Ezdok v2 and Ezdok v3 EZdok Software.

I haven't come across this issue with any of my other add-on aircraft I have flown. Only with the Alabeo DA42. Regards, Fred Fleuren
March 3, 20206 yr Not an Alabeo product, but I've had this happen occasionally after completing a flight and shutting down Sky Sim's MD-11 (FSX:SE) thanks from me too, Nickbe. It might be the reason, but I don't have much traffic going on, let alone any add-on traffic.
