Title: Re: Avionics cut-off

Hi again, Mark!
Sorry for the late reply.

Made a new test, and saved the flight as you said, so I could compare [CaptainSim] values with the cleared for takeoff pre-saved flight (copying the Cold 'n Dark values to my default Cessna's flight won't make the 727 100% C&D as it should), and I found a disturbing asymmetry.

On my saved .flt, I'm getting
Gen_1_breaker_closed=0
Gen_2_breaker_closed=0
Gen_3_breaker_closed=0

and on the pre-saved cleared for takeoff they read
Gen_1_breaker_closed=1
Gen_2_breaker_closed=1
Gen_3_breaker_closed=1

besides some other differences concerning electrical system, which I can't "decode" by naked eye. ;D

Also under the engine parameters there are these values:
LeftMagneto=False
RightMagneto=False
GeneratorSwitch=False

On the other file they are all set to "true". This may index the "magnetos" (or equivalent, if there is such thing for a jet engined aircraft) are somehow turning off, and hence the generators will go out too. :-/

Many thanks again for your efforts, Mark! ;)
