FO connects air start unit instead of GPU

Featured Replies

Not 100% sure about this, but I think when the FO is configured to connect the GPU as part of the preliminary flight procedure, it connects the air start unit instead. I don't touch anything, just let the preflight events run, and I am left with an aircraft with no GPU but with the air start unit connected, otherwise correctly configured.

If it happens again, let me know we'll add it to our list.

Also ensure you're using the latest version of FS2Crew.

PMDG changed a bunch of stuff around in their last major update, and our last major update made changes to account for their changes.

Cheers,

Yep. It's simple to reproduce. Just start C&D, set FO Performs Preflight Flow to Yes (Ext Pwr), and then run the preflight events. The first thing that will happen is the FO will connect the start cart and not the ground power.

Tim, check your email.  I fixed it, but I'd like you to confirm the fix.
