Boeing 747-8 APU Generator Problem

Featured Replies

Dear All,

I'm trying to start flying the Boeing 747-8 in MSFS2020.

The problem that I have is that after I started the APU, I get the "Avail" lights on the APU GEN 1 and 2 switches.  When I select the APU generator switches, instead of going to lights saying "ON", the "AVAIL" lights remain on and the electrical system doesn't get powered on.

The Standby Power switch is set to AUTO and I've installed/re-installed both the default and Salty versions and I still get the same issue.

Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Peter

Problem solved - I traced it to a binding on my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant - one of the switches controlled the generators.

Moderators - you might care to remove this topic.

Best regards,

Peter
