HI

I have generator amps / generator off / standby pwr inop warnings and the generator switch oscillates back and forth.

 

I have deleted all C208 mods but issues remans

 

any advice appreciated 

A buddy had this issue last night in flight, while the other two of us were unaffected. I'm also interested in any advice or fixes for this.

so I have done a complete reinstall of the game and dissappointingly the same issues with the TBM and the Cessna 208 remain 

Are you moving the mouse whilst still holding the mouse button on the control? Or moving the scroll wheel. What I mean is, if you "mouse off" a control whilst moving it, it will continue to move endlessly after until you click it again.

Shot in the dark but check to see if there is a mapping issue.

Slashed's advice is correct:   A "momentary" pushbutton switch that is stuck in the "down" position will send a stream of on-off's to the function that it's mapped to, so check in your mapping for the generator/alternator switch - find out what switch is actually mapped to it, then change it to something else. KB's are all momentary contact - i.e. - they pass an "on" pulse when they're pressed, which disappears when you remove your finger. Joysticks have many combinations - some are "on" - and they stay on, and whether one can use that switch or not, will depend upon how the simulator code is done.

Hi thanks for your suggestion Paul.

At the moment there is no key or periferral binding for any electrical switches. I couldn't find a default key stroke for generator either?

Just add this is occuring when I start the game with the aircraft ready to taxi?

As this could be a software issue - you might want to empty out the Community folder first, then reboot the PC, and restart the sim. Verify if it's fixed or not.  Then - to really isolate a mapping issue - do you have any attached controls, like Thrustmaster/Logitech sticks/yokes/pedals or whatever?  If so - simply start the sim - select the aircraft and the flight, do the 'fly now' thing, confirm the issue, then pull each one - i.e. pull the (yoke/pedals, etc.,) USB plug from the PC, one by one, until it stops. Include both the mouse and the keyboard in this, (though the PC might not like it).  It should stop. If it continues after all the hardware switch devices are gone - then it is a real problem and one that Asobo should be looking at.
Good luck!

I owe you a large beer sir!

I followed your plan above and this isolated the fault to a legacy binding on my Warthog Throttle to the APU start.

I have deleted this and the Cessna 208 gen switch has returned to normal operation AND even more excitingly a throttle issue I had on my TBM 930 has gone away too!!

Thanks so much fo your patience and also to AVSIM for this forum which has solved many of these types of problem

Back to flying!
