chocks and external power wont stay engaged

[jamesrowe2002]

when selecting chocks or external power in the tablet, it engages on the tablet initially however it disengages and the chocks or external power disappears.

not sure if im doing anything wrong?

Are you in some absolutely wild weather with high winds, by chance?

[jamesrowe2002]

@jmarkows potentially, the UK weather is crazy at the minute so that’s probably why! I’ll try with no winds

I'm also seeing my chocks missing each new flight even after switching them on in the tablet, and manually setting them after each flight. The engine and pitot covers work nominally.

Slightly different issue. The loading phase in MSFS 2024 is a bit different (and wilder from a physics standpoint) according to Nick, so the chocks are being added and then removed because the plane is moving while loading in.

What I suspect is happening to OP here is similar; it has been seen here before that sufficiently high winds will trigger Nick's code to remove the external power and chocks because the plane is in "motion," but it's just because the weather is bad.
