Ground Power Unit (External Power)
-
Hi everyone,
I'm currently using MSFS 2020, latest version, and tried activating the GPU option from the tablet, but it doesn't seem to be working as expected. I don't see the external power unit appear outside the aircraft, nor do I notice any changes on the panel indicating that GPU power is available.
I also didn't find any mention in the manual stating that this feature is exclusive to MSFS 2024 (if that happens to be the case).
I've attached a short snippet showing the behavior, in case it helps diagnose the issue: See here
I know i moved the switch BUS first, then pressed the External Power button on the tablet, but the order seems irrelevant, the GPU does not appear either way.
Is this expected or a bug?
Thanks !

External power is only available at predetermined parking spots at airports. This is how MSFS does external power for all aircraft, but I have a workaround I tested with Starship that seems to work well. I just wanted to get feedback from the community before I incorporated it in all my other aircraft.
