Avionics Fan Delay after APU GEN Switches Flipped

Hi guys,

With v1.31 & latest Gizmo beta (email notification instal 7.2.2020) I've had this a several times now, but not every time. Basically as the APU GEN power comes available, I flip the switches and hear the relay sound effect, but the fans don't always kick in right away. The delay can be a few seconds, but this delay seen here was about 50 seconds:

Hmm - that is odd! Lets see if I can reproduce that and we possibly get some more reports. There has been some work on the internal "timer" function of Gizmo, so this may be related...

Thanks for the report!

Edit: tried a few times with latest Gizmo Beta (20.06.25.0140 on Windows, 11.50b11) and could not reproduce it. I will certainly keep an ear open for it!

Cool, yes unfortunately it's one of those sporadic events so it might take a few tries to hear it.

@Litjan & everyone, please keep looking. Today with v1.32 I had the same issue with the delayed avionics fan after hitting the APU GEN switches, only this time it never came on despite waiting 3+ minutes. I ended up applying the turn-around state and the fans sounded normal, then on the next cold n dark it worked ok. However the fan delay issue seems to happen every 3 or so flights.
