Analogue Caravan Battery Constantly Overheating / Gen Switches Off
-
....and all electrics go out.Set failures to zero but happens every flight.
Why is this happening please?
-
Let me state this in simple words:
Half the time it works... half it doesn't.
Ergo: it is "buggy."
Please fix it.
I don't want a refund.......I love the plane generally, and am looking forward to getting to grips with the Rnav system ... BUT, if the basic AP isn't working reliablly and consistently, what's the point of getting stuck into an even more complex system.
The JF Arrow works flawlessly every time.
I did 3 circuits of the same airport and it intercepted the Localiser perfick.
Why isn't the Caravan doing this at the same airport ?

@gabe777 A reply from the developer that we hope will help you...
We have not received any other reports of battery overheat problems in the Analog Caravan. For troubleshooting, if this happens before ever turning the generator or standby alternator on, then it is the result of a starter overheat. If it happens after turning on the generators or connecting external power, then it's a battery overheat caused by excessive charging rate. Monitoring the battery charge rate via the multimeter, and the "Starter Engaged" annunciator light should reveal which of these two conditions is causing the problem. If it appears to be neither, there is a possibility that it is due to a hardware control binding that is interfering with this specific aircraft. We have not received any reports of this happening, but technical support is always happy to look at your exact situation and help remedy the problem.
