3 - 5 minutes after take-off all my avionics go blank, incl. GPS, flaps, nav.lights, AP, etc.  This is new & I can't work out why?
In one panel I noticed a battery switch had clicked off & power was restored when I clicked it back on (slapped wrists for the C-P & told not to play again)  BUT - this has happened in other aircraft & I wonder is there a bug in FS9 that can cause this?   Going into Alt & aircraft selection to reload the aircraft sorts it but often power goes again.
As I say - this hasn't happened before!
Ummmm - thanks if someone can help to sort it  ;).

I'd check to see what your "failure" settings are. (even if you didn't change them) Start your sim in windowed mode, (ALT+ENTER) and from the Aircraft drop-down menu, select Failures. There you should be able to see if the electrics are set to konk out on ya.

Make sure the alternator/generator is turned on, that would cause a loss of power minutes into the flight, as your battery is dead.

Thanks - I'll check it out.  I've not changed anything though as it's all going so well I leave it alone apart from changing the weather!!  I have been installing lots of WoAI packages! I usually start with running engines too::)

I've checked failure settings & they're all clear.  Even if one was set for one aircraft, that wouldn't effect all aircraft I'd have thought?   HOWEVER
I got the instrument panel up on my Stoneair Lancer & noticed the generator switches were off.  NEVER seen that before so I saved the flight with them on & then checked other aircraft & they all appear switched on.
Fingers crossed & thanks for the tips.  Any changes & I'll let you know.

...I reckon...

...when you take off, the extension lead gets pulled out of the wall socket, and thats how you lose all electrical power to the aircraft... ...!

...need a longer extension lead?... :-?...?

Paul....(..also in need of an "extension"...).... ...!

Ah - I see.  Length is everything then  :P    But then I'm never switched off
