modern jets auto/pilot

[OTTO]

Hey guys,
         Alot of mod jets for cfs2 will fly for awhile on A/P
& then the AP turns off & you can't use the gear or flaps to land, nothing works.
         one is the F15C Eagle
  any ideas ?

Otto,

I have noticed that one of the F-15s on offer is a wee bit faulty all around - you know what I mean. I haven't actually come across you problem but I'm not saying that it's just your computer's fault. Which other aircraft does it happen to you in?

That would be the  Buccaneer, the F-86, the Fj2 Fury to name a few.
    The P80 Shooting Star is ok & the F-100d.
 I wish it was my comp, but don't think so, it's about 50 -50 on the jets.
  I'm trying to put adf's & NDB's in for the long flights & nav purpose.

                                          Keep Thinkin

No problem Otto,

I had that problem at one time, & scratched my head so much over it that I started going bald!. Thanks to Gnoopey I found the solution to this very perplexing problem.

The problem usually appears in FS2k & FS2K2 aircraft brought over to CFS2..

Simply insert these lines into the aircraft CFG file:

[Electrical]
max_battery_voltage=14
generator_alternator_voltage=28
max_generatoralternator_amps=160
electric_always_available=1

For those of you who are perfectionists, you can research the actual values for the aircraft of your choice.

I haven't had any of those AP & landing gear problems since copying these lines into the acft's cfg files.

Have fun ,

Chief

Thanks Chief!!
              I narrowed it down to the battery prob,cause you can hit ctrl+B  & one of them came back on , but didn't know how to fix it.
             Happy flyin & thanks for the good help!
