New PA A380 about electronics system

Post by Big777jet »

Hi Y'All,

I'm sick of electronics went off too early less than 9 minutes! I am still working on cockpit and settings a lot of things to do at gate park before push back.

I couldn't figure it out where do I find aircraft.cfg to setting change to continue electronics running all the time.

Thanks,

Stuart

Do you mean the screens went black?

Make sure you have the APU and Batteries on?

No, it was not black screen. I mentioned electronic went off on the panel cockpit.

There is no APU switch available in overhead panel.

So Stuart, which panel are you using? Is it with FSX or FS2004? I guess FS2004 as the default B747 panel does not have an overhead with APU start and APU on. In that case you should maybe make a shotcut key in the control settings for the APU controls. Then you can use the <ctrl>+<M> and APU shorcuts to get the avionics and battery to work.
Hope it helps. ;)

Yes, FS2004 and no it's not a default 747 Yuck! :geek:

It was from Delta Virtual Airlines but It's for AIr France Airbus 340 and I copied panel moveover to the Airbus 380's panel. It has 4 engines and easy to connect for 4 engines. I think it is Eric M (sp?) panel. I don't think the panel has APU sets. I just move my mouse pointer to the APU gauge. Nothing. It has not come with this panel.cfg. or gauges.

I tried ctrl + M it doesn't do anything.

It must've something missing aircraft.cfg or panel.cfg for APU system or electronic system.

Assign a key for APU system through the settings

FS9 DOES NOT HAVE APU SYSTEMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shall I say it louder?

Also, search for

Code: Select all

electric_always_available=1
in the aircraft.cfg

I am hard of hearing. I can hear it. I know that default doesn't have APU or anything else. But I have told you that I download from DVA and panel was from Eric M.

I have tried electric_always_available=1 it does NOT work. I tried ctrl + M does not WORK.

You need to buy me a new hearing aids you broke mine because you speak too loud. LOL! :lol:

Re: New PA A380 about electronics system

Post by GaryG »

OK....

It is not that the default don't have APU.... it's FS9 that does not have APU.... Any freeware panel makes it difficult to simulate it especially if it's in XML.

About the electric_always_available.....

I can't tell you any soon for I'm a bit busy too look at the other aircraft.cfg.

However.... try to locate it is in the A320/A319/A318 if you have them and put it in the A380's aircraft.cfg where relevant.

Hope this helps.

Regards
