Thanx...the external power switch is never lit and FSX AFAIK has no way to enable it...so it must be done from with the CS product like you do in the other sims from the add-ons menu in the 3d world.

Doesn't it light up when the parking brake is set?

No.

I have AES 2.02 but that ought not to make any difference.

Also of interest is the APU seems to shut itself off for no reason.

As the external power is controlled from the addon and not AES, to turn on the external power, go to the Simicons panel and press the E button. The light will then light up and you will then have external power.

Yeah, and don't forget your air, too, right next to it.
