FS2004 Problem - Gauges, Lights and Engines

Featured Replies

Hello! I have a problem in FS2004 and I would like someone to help me...

When I choose any aircraft and shut down engines, the cockpit's gauges and lights turn off after some minutes. After this, in turboprops aircrafts, I can't start the engines....

I don't know what type of error this can be.....

This looks like an Overland aircraft. I'm not 100% sure about its system depth (I never had them), but I know they don´t simulate ground power or APU. Looks like your battery has discharged, and (apart from maybe Ctrl+E) there's nothing to bring it back to life.

If you have FSUIPC3 (you should, it's now free), you can take a look to the battery options. There is one that allows you to extend battery life indefinitely.

Best regards,
