August 20, 20214 yr Hi All, So today my avionics have just suddenly started to switch themselves off mid flight! I can't turn them back on. I know this was an issue some time ago but had anyone experienced this recently or have an ideas on a fix? Thanks very much in advance. Dan

Hi, It's happened with every aircraft I've tried to fly today (152, 172, Kingair, Virus) downloaded the HC135 helicopter last night but I have since removed this from the community folder to see if this caused the issue but it's still happening. Anu guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Dan

August 20, 20214 yr Author Didn't think of that. I'll try that and see if it helps. Thanks very much sir

Thank you I found the solution for the flaps and another problem, engine 1 shutting down, you have to check the feathering button in case it gets accidently pushed, still having occasional problems with the navigation, the plane when flying on GPS wants to fly back to the take off airport.

I think this may be another sim issue that is being worked on, as I hear a few people mention the 'back course' issue that sounds similar to this. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

Thank you, yes it does happen on other planes as well. I have taken to flying VOR to VOR, which I quite enjoy doing anyway, I dont load a flight plan, I look at the map, find the necessary VOR stations then take off from the departure airport and follow them to the destination I want.

Feathering button did probably not get pushed You applied too much power taxiing onto the runway after auto feather was armed, and then reducing it before takeoff. Keep manifold pressure below about 25 when taxiing out prior to takeoff.

August 24, 20214 yr With the King Air, if you leave the ignition on start, it will drain your battery and cause a loss of power to avionics, even when the generator is on, usually happens right during or after take off depending on taxi time.

If you really apply power taxiing out, well over 30 MP, sometimes all 4 engines will autofeather. I use just enough power to get the DC6 to start rolling, usually under 15MP, and never have that problem of autofeather tripping.
