• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS Aircraft electrical systems - help me decipher this diagram

Hi all, been attempting to set up my aircraft's electrical system to match the reference aircraft as closely as possible. Looking through the flight manual, I'm pretty happy with how the system works; but I'm struggling to translate this to MSFS's systems.cfg.

Here is the diagram I am working from:

The GENERATOR 1 BUS is separated from the BATTERY BUS by the BUS TIE. Under normal conditions this is closed, allowing current to flow between the two busses (to my understanding).

The same happens with GEN 2, where the GENERATOR 2 BUS is also separated from the BATTERY BUS by the GEN 2 TIE, which is open under normal circumstances, and closes if GEN 1 fails.

How would I write this in systems.cfg to allow for the three busses to be isolated from each other? Do BUS TIE and GEN 2 TIE need to be their own 'bus.' entries, for example below?
bus.1 = Connections:bus.2 #Name:BATT_BUS
bus.2 = Connections:bus.1, bus.3 #Name:BUS_TIE
bus.3 = Connections:bus.2 #Name:GEN_1_BUS
bus.4 = Connections:bus.1, bus.5#Name:GEN_2_TIE
bus.5 = Connections:bus.4 #Name:GEN_2
Click to expand...

Basically, I'm just trying to get my head around how best to represent this diagram in systems.cfg, so any help is appreciated!
