BAE 146 Possible Bug APU Switch
-
I have a ticket open on this but curious to see if this problem has cropped up with anyone else. On Cold and Dark start the APU switch is in the ON position but is frozen. The APU is not running. Clicking anywhere on it has no effect. Also the the red switch locks move but have no effect on the ability to move the switches (that DO move) to any position.

I noticed this one recently, but realized that my HOTAS APU switch was flipped to the APU up or ON position. Once I flipped it off on my HOTAS Throttle device it fixed the APU switch in the sim. It might be mapped in whatever controller hardware you have too.
Good luck,

@jjm9670 Hi Jim,
I never thought of that. I will check that out after I finish my current flight. I am pretty sure I did map a throttle button or switch to APU on. Just a case of finding out which one. In any case if I disconnect my HOTAS that would prove it one way or the other.
Many thanks for the suggestion.
Kind regards,Peter

Happy to confirm Jim was right. Flicked my Thrustmaster Hotas throttle APU switch to off and now my APU switch moves.
Cheers
