Power connectors help!!

[Venomhail]

I'm trying to charge a helicopter landed on my ship. I have the electrical winch attached on the helicopter and an electrical connector attached to the winch.

I then pulled the winch from the chopper and attended the connector to another electrical connector on the ship.

Both connectors are attached to power in there respective vessels via the electrical connections in the logic/electrical mode in build mode.

The ships electrical connector even has the two generators attached straight to it, bypassing the electrical breaker.

Yet after I hook up, I get nothing from the boat. My chopper still loses charge while using the mini mag connector to hold to ship.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

try to double check that your + power connectors toggle button have power.. I think you need to turn on your power connetor on your ship but also in the helicopter it is not automatic on i think.

I have a similar issue my self in the deck of my ship i have a + connector, and at the bottom of my helicopter i have a +connector.. when they both are lined up they do not connect and recharge anything..

I dont know if the +connector should have light in it when its on or not.

My bet is those crafts just do equalize the charge between them. You might consider setting a completely "for-charge-only" powergrid using electric relay's. taking power generation away from the ship for the time being. Or go the stupid way and create a "replaceable's" using connectors and a few extra batteries, simply removing old battery and manhandling the other
