Well, I went searching the forum and found nothing, so maybe I could get some help from my fellow flight simmers.
It seems that whenever I start a flight at the gate with my engines off, power lasts for maybe 10 minutes before everything goes dark. I know this is a simulation of the backup battery. But, is there a way to crank the APU so I can have power on the ground? I use mostly freeware, with the payware being the SMS Boeing and Airbus packs, so none of them have an apu power switch (that I'm aware of).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(edited for spelling)

They dont have APU simulated. So no there isnt a way to fire it up. The best way with the SMS is to use the battery which will last you about 5-7 mins. That should be enough time to get the autopilot and GPS programmed

Hmm. According to CARs the battery has to supply at least 30 minutes of power once you loose the engines. Perhaps you have lots of non-essential systems running though.
Anyhow, to answer yer question as far as I know the APU does not exist in the FS9 world.

not on most freeware - there are plenty of payware a/c have functional apu's in FS9.
Also there is a option within FSUIPC (pay version) that stops battery discharge.
