APU seems to not do a thing. Weird isn't it?

Hmm, but APU was running, doesn't that make any difference?
Weird too that it happened at the same time.
How about a hammer, would a hammer do the trick do you think?

I can tell you what the most likely issue is. The battery in the FSX
aircraft does not last long enough. Suggestion. Turn the Battery Master
Switch Off if you are going to sit for more than 5 minutes without starting
your engines. I have made that mistake a few times.

Hi All
I've tried two flights today, on both occasions my 737 went tech.
All was fine until pushback.
I accepted the tug driver's kind offer, once pushback had been completed,
the sounds associated with the battery master switch being on disappeared.
Then, the engines would not start.
I'll try a flight and decline the pushback.
This has happened twice as said, so I guess that next time I log in to IYP
VA, some kind of strongly worded letter threatening litigation will await
me.
I wonder whether it's anything to do with the version of FSUIPC, or whatever
that clever interface is called.
Anyway, someone whistle up some coaches please, there are passengers kicking
their heels at both Rotterdam and Luxemburg airports.
