BBoyJD10 12 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Just during a flight Larnaca -> Gatwick we had a complete power outage suddenly (all engines off, screens blank) could not start APU or do anything. On latest update. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrendrop3 14 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I know another pilot in my VA that has experienced this too, although so far all my flights have been trouble free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBoyJD10 12 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yup still had fuel this was about 10 mins after takeoff Mathijs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 6, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 6, 2018 And you are sure fuel system settings were okay? At this moment we have no idea what could cause this. It seems we got at least three people who have seen it.If you ever found a way to recreate the issue we for sure we likwe to know.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 9, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 9, 2018 We now had two more people who reported that issue and seen it solved with a fresh install of the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFMike 1 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I just experienced this issue today for the first time while on approach to KLAX at 3,000 ft. Power came back on while gliding after a few minutes and I was able to land. I’m not sure if any of my attempts to re-establish power helped or if it just came back on its own. My attempts included attempting to start APU even with all switches dark,turning on the starter switch, hitting Ctrl-M (an old trick from my FSX days with vendor a/c). I don’t believe it was fuel exhaustion, I took off from KSFO with enough reserve for a 2.5 hr flight - there were no warnings, just silence and a dark instrument panel. I am on latest airbus version, and Prepar3D v4.3. Mike DelFranco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFMike 1 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 No. In addition to Aerosoft, I have PMDG 737NGX, 777, and 747. All other aircraft is stock P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niallkav 2 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 niall Me too. this evening out of EBBR for EGKK. mid-flight all screens dark and engine failures. interestingly I still had flaps and gear despite not being able to start APU (perhaps I did but no indication). 4th time for me by the way (see old thread). p3d v4/orbx/asx/linda... niall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFMike 1 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 To date, I still have had this only happen once (on Aug 19th). One thing I remembered about the flight was that I had the aircraft at the gate for an extended period of time (>1hr) while setting up before powering up the APU, starting the aircraft and departure. It was a flight from KSFO to KLAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhorv67 12 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Just had a complete power loss during flight: KSFO - KPHX. All was fine until all the systems just shutdown without warning. P3d did not crash. I ended up quitting the sim as I could not control the airplane. I'm going to try the same flight again and see what happens. I do know that my computer installed some Windows 10 updates yesterday. Nothing else in the ecosystem has changed, other than installing the update for KSAN from ORBX.

marvic 183 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 This happened to me as well. My case was not pushing the "generate loadsheet" in the fuel in the planner and running out of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorv67 12 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I just repeated the same flight and no issues. I'll chalk it up to some fluke and report back if it happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallkav 2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 just had another "power" failure on taxiing. from cold and dark (but push failure I did note - had to shift P). had to APU on and restart and of course lost all FMS entries. p3d 3.4 latest A318/319 my own RAAS (but not mastered on) orbx fsaerodata LINDA 3.0.7 with aerosoft A3XX Pro 0.6 beta AS p3d v I have PMDG and Carenado (is Carenado the problem??) hmmmm Niall Kavanagh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 28, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 28, 2018 Can you expand on this? (but push failure I did note - had to shift P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallkav 2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi Mathijs, so choose 1 for mcdu3 push and 0 degrees (a problem?) as directed LSZH gnd and no movement. I follow copilot engine 2 engine 1. but need shift P to get back. many minutes later as approaching entry hold dark all screens and engine spool down. no failure warnings.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 28, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 28, 2018 I am really sorry bit it is very hard to follow what you write. Shift P is a key for pushback and you feel that is related to a entry to a holding? Would you be so kind to guide us step by step to what you believe is an issue?

niallkav 2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi again, after "recovery" from the above about 45 minutes later during cruise, the same thing. sudden black screens BUT engine sounds normal? and maintaining altitude it appears. not recoverable . niall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 28, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 28, 2018 nialkav, sorry but this makes no sense. You talk about pushback and holdings entries and 'recovery' now we seem to be talking about a flight in cruise. If you are unable to provide repeatable information it does not help us. Please take some time to really write down what happens. Just bursts of text without context simply does not help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallkav 2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 sorry M, holding as in on the ground hold. also using navigraph by the way... the 1 option start with pushback with default distance and direction (straight back) failed, as in no movement , but e2 e1 start seemed ok Niall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
