GPU Ext Power Switch Issue

Featured Replies

I have chocks in, all three generators off, parking brakes on, the GPU image on the Options panel shows a green check mark in the upper left corner. However, I can not get the EXT Power switch to go into the ext power switch position. It is in normal when loaded and if I click it then moves to Low Temp Start.  No amount of clicking will get it to EXT power.

Any ideas on what's wrong.  I've gone through the posts here and the manual which simply says EXT Power on, Parking Brake on,Gens off and the plane meets all those criteria.

Thanks.

I have not been able to duplicate your problem. Just to make sure, you are right clicking with the mouse to move the Power switch down into the EXT position. And the engines are off.

What sim are you using?  And are you using ver 2.0b of the Falcon50?

Right click. Never thought of that.  Usually left click cycles through the settings.  Just downloaded it so I hope it's current.  Got it from Just flight.

The right click is never mentioned in the manual and probably should be.

Hmm, I was born in Boulder, Co.

Got it.  Thanks.

You mentioned you could move the power switch into the Low Temp position, so I would think you then moved it back to Normal with a Right click??  😉

BTW, I can't recall if this is the case with the Falcon50, but some gauges also make use of a mouse center wheel click. Bottom line, if necessary, try them all!

Most of the aircraft I have used in several sims use left click and cycle through the settings.  To be honest I can't remember encountering a right click for a long time and they only use is on some switches so it's not consistent.

I've added Right Click, Mouse Wheel Click, and try them all to my list!
