Beacon on, all systems goes off?

[rke]

I'm starting from a cold & dark panel, switch on the batteries, followed by external power and confirm with OIS that I have GPU connected. Then once I'm done setting up the aircraft and start preparing for departure, I switch on the APU followed by the beacon switch, at which point the aircraft powers down completely. Both batteries and external power goes off, the OIS screen goes blank, and I get alerts on the hydraulic system. 

 

Please ignore the ongoing IRS alignment, as it was just a quick dive in to get the screenshots, and the position of the throttles, I haven't calibrated it in the -900 yet as I wanted to fly the -1000 first.

Is your APU actually fully up and running?

This is not a bug. When beacon lights are turned on the Chocks & GPU are disconnected by design.

Ensure you are on APU power with APU fully running before doing so.
Thanks!

Hm, thanks for that. I suppose it's something I'll have to learn to get used to, seeing as it's not on any of the other Airbus aircraft I fly in the sim 🙂

From the manual... there's an option to change how this works:

Exactly, but unfortunately this doesn’t work. Even if you set it to NO, it still disconnects the GPU.
