Gen not going online

Post by metzgergva » Mon Jan 13, 2020 4:07 pm

When doing multiple flights including changing to GPU on ground, it happened to me that after engine start, I cannot get the GEN 1 & 2 online. ENG starter is OFF and GEN tie is NORM.
I have tried switching GEN off and open GEN tie and then switching them on and also GEN tie ON, but when I do a reset on the GENs the GENs warning goes off for a second and then back on.
I have checked MVAMS after closing P3D and the ENG status is all the way up close to 99% green.
Any idea what I might do wrong?

Double-check the External Power switch is OFF and the GPU is disconnected.

Same issue here. My Battery isn't powering on either.

Can you please confirm you have done as KenG suggested in the post before yours?

The battery not coming on is unusual. Make sure the BAT BUS switch is in the up NORM position. It is the red and white hatched area to the left of the gang bar.

The other issue is you may have just run the battery down, that would take a while but could happen. I think you have to reload the aircraft to fix a dead battery if that is the case.

I am not sure, I just barely started the aircraft so if the battery dies that quickly that doesn't seem right. The generators not coming online is a completely random issue. Sometimes they wont come online at all and I have to reload the sim. The BAT BUS switch is in the correct up position, so I think this may be isolated to a problem with the generators. I am gonna stick to strictly a battery only start and see if that fixes the problem. Anytime the ground power is disconnected after start, the generators will never come online it seems.
