Nick Timm Posted October 10, 2020 at 07:18 PM Posted October 10, 2020 at 07:18 PM I can't be the only one who experiences this?! It never happens if I am not connected to Vpilot, but almost every time I am still on the server and try to shut down my plane, it acts like it is off but all of the visuals look like the battery is still on. I can sometimes get around it if I disconnect from the server before I shutdown. Just wondered if anyone else experiences this and/or if anyone has found the source of the problem. Thanks!

Morten Jelle Posted October 10, 2020 at 10:00 PM Posted October 10, 2020 at 10:00 PM I don't really think that is an issue of vPilot. It may be FSUIPC that causes your issue. Are you running the latest version of vPilot and FSUIPC? We also don't know what aircraft you are experiencing this in, but anyway - I hardly believe this is caused by vPilot.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted October 11, 2020 at 04:47 PM Posted October 11, 2020 at 04:47 PM FSUIPC has a checkbox for artificially extending battery life indefinitely. It makes me wonder whether it's possible that a specific aircraft model is miscoded such that the battery on/off switch uses non-standard coding to kill power to the battery, which that FSUIPC option then (inadvertently) overrides. That may mean that the issue would be solved by disabling that option within FSUIPC, but, it also may be worth approaching the model developer to see why their battery on/off code doesn't map to the battery switch in the usual way. This is all speculation based on very little specific information, but, might give you some avenues to troubleshoot. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Timm Posted October 11, 2020 at 10:41 PM Author Posted October 11, 2020 at 10:41 PM (edited) Huh I’ll look in to those things. I’ve searched through FSUIPC, and never found any similar options. I also have the freeware FSUIPC and not the paid version, so my options with the FSUIPC interface are limited. But also, sorry for the lack of info. It doesn’t happen in any one aircraft, it happens in all aircraft, add-ons and default . But only when connected to Vpilot, never when disconnected from it. So I guess you’re right it could be FSUIPC or Vpilot, that’s about the only two options at this point. I’ll try and investigate further, thanks!
