Oh great.  I was wondering where to get this file from.  Thanks.  I will try it right away.

Thx for the fixxes gang!

Power goes off even with the electrical always on line?

Do your sounds stay above 5000 feet?  Man, this is frustrating.  Mine start, then go away somewhere during climb.  At least I think I'm onto someting with the msvcr71.dll because there is an older one that I suspect is what this bird is looking for.

Sure c:\?

That's the third place I've heard put it.  FSX folder, Windows\System32 + ... ?

I'm game.  I just keep bounching this file around for awhile and if it still doesn't work I'll accept your file, if it is different than the one from the download site posted.

I think I figured out what I was doing wrong with the electrical. �I had in
electric_always_available=1 it should be
electric_always_availalbe = 1

Those two spaces before and after the "=" sign may be the key. �Sure enough, the other entries in that section also have the spaces. I am going to try it out now. �

I think we need to be careful when referencinig this fix to other people as this went unnoticed by me for quite a while

Fingers crossed....

Edit: �Still didn't work.  I lose power after 7 minutes every time after reloading a fight.   I will try to do a complete restart. If this doesn't work I give up. What can you do in 7 minutes with power, start the engines and let them run while you do the rest of the preflight?.  I don't think so

Well, here is a cut and paste of my electrical section...

Doesn't work

My power fails with ground power on   What I have to do is set the time up for 5 minutes before departure and do as much as I can with the sim paused.  The FMC works like this but certain buttons only work with thesim unpaused.

Gosh this plane is so close to being great.

I cannot hear the APU start or shut down but I clearly see the sound files in the folder.

The engine noise can be heard but the engines are not running. I have tried this in many scenarios, with loading cessna first, shutting down manually , everything!

Any help with these issues would be appreciated I have tried to test but I am stumped!!!
