No Engine Driven Pump and to little Amps on Generator (2024 version)

[JayDee]

I still have the problem, that the Aircraft completely cuts out and goes dark after a few minutes. 

Checking Ingame Variables and your files I noticed some problems:
 

1. The aircraft has NO engine driven fuel pump!!! The only defined pump in your fuel section is named engine driven but actually taged as electrical on bus 1 (main bus).

2. the generator amp output with all electrical equipment off (execept fuel pump - since you cannot turn it off, else the engine dies) is not high enough to prevent battery drain. So unless you have ~1500 RPM, the battery slowly gets depletet.

 

 

 

Edit - further findings:

3. the electrical fuel pump is on bus4 (battery bus).

 

So that leads to the following chain of events:

-> after a while the battery bus drops below a certain voltage, cause the alternator generates not enough amps to support all circuits (could even be realistic)

-> but now the only fuel pump cuts out, because it is tied to battery bus

-> engine cuts out, because there is no engine driven fuel pump

-> alternator stops putting any amps out, since it is connected to the engine

-> everything is dead

 

This all would not happen, if the engine has an engine driven fuel pump, so that it keeps running without the electrical fuel pump.

And maybe the electrical fuel pump should be on main bus instead of the battery bus, regardless of the other things.
And all circuits seem to have really hi watt numbers - I mean 50 Watt for a marker beacon, 25 Watt for a single COM radio? This seems to be very high.
