Realism Problem

[a1]

Whenever I set my realism settings all the way up i get electrical failures. When I do a flight in a 737 with the realism settings up around 20min later in flight the instruments just shut off. I can't get them back on. I check the failures box and it has the Electical set to fail. I never had set any failures up in the first place. THen when i do the same flight without realism settings everything is normal. What happened? :-?

It is possible that your default flight is set with failures on somehow.  I would start by setting up a new flight.  Set everything (graphics, plane, airport, failures, etc.) to how you would like, and then save that flight as your default flight.  If you make sure the failures are off before you save it as your default flight, whenever you load up FS and make changes to your flight, the failures should remain off unless you turn them on.

Give this a try and let us know if the failures are still coming on

Good luck,

Are you setting up properly? Sounds like you're forgetting a checklist item, and the generators are offline...?

I don't think that is the problem because I used the POSKY planes which i use the default panel.

As rotty says, it might well be a generator problem. Do you use Ctrl-E to start the engines, or do you do it manually? If you go for the autostart, the generators are switched on automatically also, whereas if you start up manually you have to switch the generators in yourself. If you don't do this, you'll run out of power pretty quickly.

Speaking of starting the engines....is there anyway to set the options in FS9 so whenever you load your flight the plane's engines are not already running? I've looked around the program, but can't find any options that would enable this. I'd really like to be able to start the plane from parking.
