Hello Everyone.
After several years following the forum and downloading loads of your planes, I have at last got the courage to have a go at asking something!
I have downloaded the Iris Vulcan and no matter what i try to do after about ten minutes the batteries are flat. Have tried shift +M no difference, has anybody any clue how to get over this problem as it seems a great plane to fly.

I don't know about the Vulcan.... :roll: ....

...but if the panel contains a Battery and Alternator switch, make sure that they are BOTH switched on, or the batteries will not be charged!

Turn master swich on on starboard panel you will have to lift seat arm and zoom into the panel, turn on all fuel pumps centre console and set to auto, lift left seat arm and make sure all the red lights are out and the green feel light is illuminated. Move start to rapid turn on ignition and hit rapid button and you should be good to go. The autopilot is also a fun little item to get to grips with. This should get you flying but you should read the manual located in the main fsx folder.

Hello Again.
It was such a thrill to get a reply from fozzer so soon after I had posted my Avro Vulcan problem. ( the ears I have to live with!!) for years I have read with delight at his wit and wisdom.
Alas there is no separate alternator switch. Dave T I am going to give your answer a go after i have posted this.
