reported Power lost on APU start?

[Tinkie]

- External power is on and rotary knob is set to External. After APU start, FMC drops to start (PDU) page and INU begins to realign. Looks like total power lost.

- Unable to switch to TADS (as sighting source) if FCR is switched off in weapon util.

Hi, 

please include a track replay example, you can save one when you exit the mission. 

Please also ensure game flight and game avionics are disabled in dcs main settings

thanks

Ok, will try to do that.

This one about APU. After APU start, GPS and ENU went to realign. After reswitching to ext power, it's ok, but after stopping APU, GPS and ENU lost data again.

P.S.

The only way to avoid blackout seems to be the next:

1. Before an APU start switch off both generators on Eng->Util page;

2. Start APU and engines as usual;

3. After raising engines rpm to nominal, switch on left generator with Gen.reset;

4. Rotate Power/Ignition knob to Battery;

5. Stop APU;

6. Reset right generator;

7. Tell Chief to disconnect external power;
