Need assistance with Mission 13 external power procedures

[dporter22]

The guidance says to start, then request external power, but shut down engines before requesting external power. I'm confused.

What exactly am I supposed to do?

The external power is a bit tricky the first couple of times. If the kneeboard checklist is not enough, I suggest finding a YouTube video that shows you how. That might be a bit easier than trying to walk you through it here.

Any luck with this mission?

At my second attempt and only improved from a poor 74 to 76...

[Kurnass1977]

Ok, just finished my third attempt and scored 100

[dporter22]

How did you connect external power?

 

[Kurnass1977]

Ok this is the procedure.

Spoiler

As per instruction start the plane and complete the checklist likr for a normal mission ( follow the Special procedure om the kneeboard). At this point call via F10 menu ground crew and order to connect the external power and shuydown the engines; when done follow again the kneeboard for After Engines Shot Down, and thst's all

Ok, thanks. Doesn't make sense to start the engines, connect external power, then shut down the engines but ok.
