Title: Gas Turbine Genertor won't restart
Post by qazme on Apr 22nd, 2024 at 2:31am
The gas turbine generator on initial load (cold and dark) performs perfectly (albeit missing sounds). However after full startup of the plane and shutting down of the gas turbine generator once I arrived at my location (roughly 450miles away ~1.25 hours of flight time) once on the ground and parked I could not get it to restart.

The door opens, the light goes red for startup for just a second or two - but the turbine never fully starts back up.

If there is somewhere else we are supposed to put bug reports please let me know.

I think you have to make sure that the crossfeedvalve No2 is open.

Good day,

When i change the weight by adding more  fuel the engines cut down power cannot take off . I can only fly with less then 40% fuel .

Hum something I will check next time. I did a flight last night that took roughly an hour and once landed I had no issues starting it back up. So I think I did something wrong potentially. More checking inbound.

Thanks!

Yep confirmed just now finishing this flight. If that crossflow is in the wrong position the generator won't start. Thanks for the help!
