Carenado M20R Problems

There is some setting relating to realistic battery drain that I believe the M20R is reacting to in a rather unexpected manner.  I'm sure you may recall the days of FSX and the Cessna batteries that once drained were permanently drained (bug of course).  Can't recall how we worked around that.  At any rate I left avionics on in the M20R while I read the checklist and that killed the batteries.  Not sure if that's realistic but perhaps you sat too long without an engine running and FSUIPC's setting was the catalyst for...well no more catalyzing in the batteries 🙂  Please post back with what you find sir.

Hello,

I reported that FSUIPC7 was the culprit for the M20R not powering on and when I stopped this app from starting the Mooney would power on normally.

In FSX and P3D I always used Extended Battery Life 0, (click the box inserts the 0) this is in Miscellaneous. Now I use the Value 1(uncklick the Box inserts

a 1). With this setting my Carenado M20R powers on normally. At this point I am not sure how this will affect future operations of other plane. The Value 1 is supposed to drain a Battery and Value 0 never drains it. See how it works. Would like to know if this is a Carenado issue or not or MSFS.

Thanks

Well since The Mooney works fine with MSFS without FSUIP, am not sure how you want to blame Carendo or MSFS for FSUIPC7 messing it up. Over countless years I have read and seen problems like your and its amazing how many times the problem is FSUIP.

Thanks Hellberger - that fixed the problem. Steps I took:

1. Untick battery life in FSCIPC

2. turn off FSUIPC

3. restart flight in FSFS2020 (no need to reboot the sim) , start Mooney - all good

4. restart FSUIPC - all good, battery-life didn't suddenly go to zero as previous.
