    Steps to reproduce:

    • Start a flight parked (cold and dark) on the ramp at some airport.

    • Slew the aircraft to some position.

    • Turn on the "External Power" toggle on the EFB.

    • Toggle briefly turns on and then turns itself back off. It's now impossible to connect external power.

    Please fix.

    @VIZIX Every airfield doesn't have external power available. Try another, maybe bigger airfield.

    @Zwoop68 Tried an airfield that "has" external power. Started a flight and external power works as normal. Slewed the aircraft, external power gets switched off (expected), and refuses to ever turn on again (not expected). Slewing just kills the external power option, and you have to restart the flight (and not slew the aircraft) to get it back.

    @VIZIX Maybe you have to be in a parking slot?

    Edit: Tested this and yes, that seems to be the case - you have to be inside a spesific parking spot or otherwise external power doesn't show up!
    After slewing 850, it worked even in a helipad, but not anymore if I slew couple meters away from it.
