After starting engines and "turning off apu" it doesnt turn off during hole flight and after landing whem trying to "turn it back on" it doesn allowe looks like "apu master switch button is stuck" (im on xbox)

Hi @Anonymous1999

How are you turning off the APU? You simply need to disable APU Bleed and then click the APU MASTER switch once for the APU to turn off. Also ensure you have your ignition switch on the pedestal returned to the center position.

Thanks!

Hi. 

Yes thats what im doing. Dont know why but apu master switch button just freezes and apu is on hole flight. Had this issue for a month maybe slightly longer. (I would add a video to showcase what im talking about but size of it is too big)

You can upload to Youtube and share the link that way. We'll look into it.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

I haven't experienced this issue on any of the more latest builds in testing, so its possibly addressed already but your bug report is noted, and we'll look into it if we can reproduce it.

Thanks!

Hi whats the progress of fixing this bug? Its annoying to use 320n because of it

Hey, I've had the same issue with the APU but it seems like it just disables the master switch while it is shutting off. Try going with bleed off master sw off order, and then just be patient and don't touch anything:DD

It could be that some form of this bug does exist, because I have had a flight where I've noticed by the end that the apu ate all my fuel because it refused to turn off, but I don't remember what I have or haven't done that time.

It is also worth noting that shutting the apu off takes a couple of minutes, so i recommend you spawn in on a ramp and start flipping switches, try to experience how long it actually takes. Follow a checklist to make sure you're going in order with everything.

Yeah have done anything humanly possible there. The problem is that second after turning it off Master Switch is stuck (cant press it) (and because of that you cant turn it on again after landing) and apu isnt shutting off its stuck on being on.

Tengo el mismo problema a la fecha de hoy tanto en el Microsoft Flight Simulador 2020 como en el 2024 únicamente con los aviones de inibuilds

Sigo una checklist y aún así se queda atascado el Master switch y el APU no se apaga por más que le haga, soy de Xbox series 

FYI, I have done several cycles of only starting and shutting down the APU from cold start, all seems normal. (Batteries ON ->  APU Master SW ON -> APU Start ON -> Wait for APU Start become AVAIL ->  APU Master SW OFF)

In this scenario, the APU Master SW button won't be operational for few minutes after the APU has been switched off.

I have also started the engines after the previous steps, then APU Master SW OFF. The APU switches off but not immediately (and can be switched on again).

The APU keeps being available if the shutdown is performed with the checklist. After that, the APU Master SW never comes back alive.

Any help is appreciated!

(Using the Steam version on PC).
