October 26, 200718 yr Thanks Bill,I didn't know you had to switch on after the start.I'm using the APU as a GPU and had the following.(A:APU PCT RPM,percent) 1 > if{ 1 (>K:APU_OFF_SWITCH) 0 (>L:CLSvlj_apu_lamp, bool) } els{ 1 (>K:APU_STARTER) } So I'll add the switch-on variable and see what happens.Can I have a second APU?I have a two battery system. I was thinking I could use a second APU to simulate the second battery.BTW, I try to email you from time to time but they get rejected by your ISP as spam. At least the forums work.cheers, and thanks for the help,nick
October 26, 200718 yr Author Commercial Member FSX only supports a single APU, so the 'short' answer is no you can't.Be careful about using the APU as a 'battery'... because unlike a battery, it uses fuel. ;) Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
