    Hi folks - thanks in advance for the help. I really want to get this airplane running, but whenever I turn on the generators, they don't charge the battery. When I toggle the electric meter around to the various settings, none of them show positive amperage, so I know that they're not charging. Indeed, as I begin to turn on avionics and lights, I soon run out of battery and the airplane shuts down.

    Does anyone have any insight into why this might be happening? I've gone over startup procedures at least 10 times. I've cross referenced startup guides from multiple sources, including the in-game checklists, 737NG Driver on YT, and other YouTubers. If this post doesn't turn up anything useful, then my next steps are to quarantine all mods in my Community folder, leaving only the Analog King Air. That would allow me to eliminate the possibility that there's some sort of addon conflict occurring.

    I truly appreciate the assistance on this!

    Just to clarify - I forgot to mention that this is in reference to the Analog King Air.

    Hi,

    Just to be sure : did you check all circuit breakers and the failure system ?

    @elglon That's awesome advice. Yeah, I gave a quick glance at each of those, but I'll look a little more closely when I next load into the King Air and give it a try. Thanks for the reminder!

    @elglon So I tried again today, and it worked just fine for me! Flew a beautiful flight from Mount Cook to Queenstown. Bumpy approach in the mountains, but not bad for my first try.

    I have some competing theories regarding what was going on. Firstly, I turned off all engine failures (though none were registered). I did not have any open circuit fuses. Secondly, I closed the app SkyDolly, which I use for inflight recordings. I've noticed previously that SkyDolly has done some strange stuff to my airplane systems. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue and post back any updates that I have. But for now, the issue seems to have been resolved.
