ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: lines connecting 2 BUSes together show 0 load

Version: 1.5.26.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low/High

**Marketplace package name:**N/A (Dev Native FS2024)

Context: When editing

**Similar MSFS 2020 issue:**N/A

Bug description:

Repro steps:
Create an electrical system with at least two buses. Have a line connect the two buses. The electrical load on this line will always be zero.
A breaker connection on the line will function correctly if pulled, but since the load is zero, the breaker cannot trip.
The power distribution calculations seem correct, as generators/batteries will be loaded correctly, and power is available to the consumers, respecting breaker/switch states. The bug only seems limited to the propagation of load on a line connecting 2 buses together.

Hello @MariopilotPD808

This should be fixed with SU5 Beta.
Let us know if this is good for you.

Hello @FlyingRaccoon !

Thanks for looking into this.

It “works”, but there seems to be a problem with the computations:

  • Configuration: 2x engines, 2x main busses (L & R)
  • Each bus is fed by both generators, via a direct and a XFR line.
  • Let’s say the bus load is 28A. I am seeing both generators providing 28A to the bus. I would have expected each of them to supply 14A. As a result, the 25A breakers are popping.

You can investigate this with the mnd-aircraft-c22j package (FS2024 native version 2.0.4. I had the electrical system already set up as “2.1” like a rookie. Now I will need to leave the beta to export a flash update to customers)
