Question for Fraser McKay

[KellyB]

I am trying to set up a flight with an F27A from Cal Classics using your truly marvelous panel (dated Feb 2011).
What I can't seem to get to work for me is to have the flight load with the aircraft cold and dark. I can get the engines to stay shut down ok, but the electrical panel insists on opening up activated with all electricals on. I found a line in the Aircraft.cfg which says Electrical_always_available=0 which I deleted, but with no difference.

Is there a way to get the electricals to stay shut down when the flight loads?

Thanks.

Hi Kelly,

In two words...you can't.

Firstly the panel is designed tor the aircraft cfg and airfile supplied with the package, not any other with would-be improvements.

Secondly the electrical system, amongst others, uses many local coding variables, which cannot be saved in any other configuration other than the default value of zero, So for example, if a battery switch in the ON position has a value zero, it will always load, however saved, at value zero, in this case ON.

cheers

Fraser

While it isn't the answer I was hoping for, I do appreciate the quick reply and now that I know, I'll stop beating my head against this wall and move on to another...

The panel is superb, nonetheless, and I for one appreciate the work you and your colleagues do for the rest of us.
