WAC01

Thank you very much gentlemen. You were both on the money on this, and especially Andy. After deleting the default situation (which I do make with default a/c and airports), I restarted the sim, deleted the situation (wasn't the default anymore but was still in the sim as a situation) and re-made it, all is working perfectly now. Much appreciated and thank you for the help! Glenn

That might be worth a look Andy, but I don't think so. I'll double check, but good thought. Thanks. Glenn

Thanks Peter. I may not have been very clear, or maybe this is just a different way of saying the same thing. Physically (virtually at least :)) the battery switch does turn off. It's just that the electrics stay on. Conversely, when loading (even the default 172) aircraft, the electrics fire up even though the battery and Avionics switches have yet to be turned on. Is this how you read this, or does this change things? Thanks much, Glenn

Good Morning, I installed V4.90 (FSUIPC) back in May when it first came out as per instructions. This is the registered copy. Since then I seem to not be able to turn off my electrics in most (possibly all) aircraft. Certainly the GA machines are affected. Now I did have the option to extend the battery life turned on when I installed this version and I believe the new installation picked up on the old parameters. The extension was by a factor of roughly 2 or 3 times. I then de-selected this option after discovering my problem, but it persists. If I disable FSUIPC the problem goes away, and comes back when I re-enable it (I disable it by renaming the FSUIPC4.DLL to *.OFF and same with the FSUIPC.ini). Would you please be able to give me a hint on what I might try or where to look to see if I can resolve this? Many thanks for the assist. Glenn
