APU not starting & turn around function not working

[someone88@bluewin.ch]

I just installed the newest version 1.04 and learned the following things:

- If I select ready for take off stage, plane is running and good to go

- In the turn-around stage the plane shuts down straight away, trying to restart it (start the APU) doesn't work, all lights are starting to flash like the battery is empty

- In cold and dark stage I tried to start the APU, light are starting to flash like the battery is empty. I connected the plane the the GPU (after reloading) and tried to start the APU this way, however same thing is happening. If you go into the failure menu and reload the battery, same thing is happening, APU won't start

 

Callouts:

- I can hear the "minimums" callout, however there is no other callout.

Mach Speed Warning:

- Not working, no noise if I push the test button and if I exceed the max speed, there is no warn signal either.

 

I hope this helps

Cheers Nic

Can't confirm that. Didn't try the callouts, but everything else (startup/APU, Battery, mach warning test) works like intended for me.

Plugins conflicting?

Maybe try recharging the battery via the failures menu?

Also check your fuel level is set up ok - no fuel, no APU

Ok I noticed that the fuel level in the wing tanks was low however the fuel tank in the middle was fuel. Which tank supplies the APU with fuel? I reloaded x-plane and couldn't resimulate this error (however this time the fuel tanks in the wings were filled). In regards to the callouts: I still don't get them. Which plugins would I have to disable to get the callouts going?

Cheers Nic

Hi Nic,

to troubleshoot which plugins conflict, you would need to remove all of them (temporarily, but don´t remove gizmo or plugin admin) and then reboot X-Plane.

Also, do you know what your soundchip properties are?

Thanks, Jan

Hi Jan, I have disabled all plugins except the gizmo one. Unfortunately not successful, there are still no callouts (except minimus). Is there a different way to disable plugins? My xplane is running on the latest version of OSX, would you know how to check the soundchip property? Cheers Nic

Make sure to remove the plugins instead of disabling them.
