I'm going to post some discoveries as I go so as to not loose them.
If the master switch is on it ever so slowly drains the battery, regardless of alternator switches being on or off.
The following "Avionics Switch" looks suspicious! Why is it assigning every electrical output to 0 regardless of toggle position?

These are the conditions for one of the comm radios

This is the condition for its knobs

The problem is the "Main Bus" never goes to 0 it is either draining when the battery switch is on or at a constant 28 when it is off.
Why?
The link of "Main Bus" is like a symlink, where is it located and how does it work?
I am at the same place you are @FlyingHigh.
Gary Neely (aka 'Buckaroo') system implements nasal as well as the c172p, is this fundamentally why these aircraft implement nasal solutions?
It would not be difficult at all to simply replace the "system" xml with a nasal alternative, from scratch! But why is this original xml ever used in this manner if it doesn't work?
