    When you press the generator drive disconnect buttons the generators become inoperative until a mechanic opens the engine up and puts it back together. On some aircraft in Aerofly FS all you need to do is shut down the engine and then press the button again to fix the disconnect. I'm not sure if that is implemented in the 787 though but please give it a try.

    Regards,
    Jan

    Thanks, it doesn't work doing that, I have another problem, when I turn off the APU the fuel pumps fail, how do I fix that? I've tried everything but nothing works.and main battery disc appears

    Reload the aircraft and never touch the drive disconnect buttons and the issue should be fine. Once the generators are disconnected you have no AC power unless you keep the APU running.

    The drive disconnects are a permanent pain in mobile. The screen needs to be continuously panned to view instrument panel and cockpit features and swiping on the drive disconnects during pans inadvertently cancels that engine’s electrical output permanently.
    They are guarded in real life so accidental operation really ought to be prevented in the simulation. It would be an almost unimaginable user action seeing how failures and emergencies are not featured in current Aerofly so would it be reasonable for the function to only be activated by an extraordinarily user input, something like three switch taps perhaps?
