    When flying the MH-60 Marine 1. The Gen 1 and 2 switches won't stay on and the battereis die after a period of time. I have followed several quick start up guides and can't resolve the issue. Any Ideas??

    1. Generators are a 3-way switch (TEST/OFF/ON).

      Make sure they are in the On position

          After turning the switch on, they will turn themselvevs off and on without me touching them. See this video at 18:21 https://rumble.com/v6xdmxs-msfs-2020-mh-60-marine-1-gets-armed-over-alaska.html

          1. We don't have anything programatically setting these to off. Do you happen to have some keybind assigned for Generators?

            TOGGLE ALTERNATOR 1/TOGGLE ALTERNATOR 2 will make these move to the OFF position. Seems that there may be some keybind being triggered

            This is the first report of this issue btw, so most likely has to do with hardware config. A quick test would be to unplug all hardware, try to set them to ON. If this works correctly, then a keybind trigger would be confirmed.

                No, they were no Keybindings for the alternator. I just bound them and they still turn themselves on and off. I can bring you into a vodeo confrance call and show you in real time if you like. Click the is Link to enter

                1. Have you tried unplugging your hardware just to confirm?

                    OK, I had an issue with my Virpl colective. I unbound Magneto 3 and 4 and the issue went away. The only issue now is UTIL ON on the engine display, and I can't fire weapons. Do I have to be in a mission to fiire weapons?

                            Got it THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! Love this Heli. Is there a way to put Lat Lons in the Mission Planner? I have my own targets at locations around the world. Or to be able to zoom into exact locations? Like the Missile Launchers at this location? 53°43'15"N 23°38'56"E
