WBSim C172 question

[ParaMan 53]

I seem to be having an issue with the battery draining during flight. Even after I charge it prior to takeoff, the volts light comes on fairly quickly. Am I missing something? I complete the checklist prior to takeoff but still seems to happen.

@ParaMan  Can you tell us what it was please?  It might prevent other people from falling into the same problem.  Thanks!

Sorry,

 

I must have accidentally knocked the Alt Fld fuse, cause it was out. Once I popped it back in there was no problems.
