missing GPU switch?
Re: missing GPU switch?
sure that's the job of the FE but even he can't do it with no switch oh well as long as i know how to turn it on and it works maybe it don't matter that much eh? theres no switch for the apu on the B17 either it's in the shift+3 menu as well

Re: missing GPU switch?
Once and for all, the L-049 that A2A modeled did not have an 'APU'...an onboard Auxiliary Power Unit.
They relied on a 'GPU', a Ground Power Unit. The FE did not have a 'switch' to turn on something that wasn't on the aircraft.
The early implementation of the L-049 was in error and thus the manual and video showing a switch. This 'switch' was removed
to reflect the actual aircraft. The only action the FE or any onboard crew could take was to signal folks on the ground to plug or unplug the GPU and switch the power on/off. In the simulation this is done via the 'Controls' 2-D panel. The onboard meter indicated the state of the GPU power.
There is no point to continue flogging a dead horse.
