Hello,
Just about one year after this topic started,I want to report that I experienced a similar loss of electrical power a few minutes after APU startup,just as described in this thread.I will now try the solutions offered and get back with how well they solved this problem.

If any electrical failure is suffered in this DC9 simulation.... it can only be due to the fact tha the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (on the overhead panel) has not been configured correctly.
There is one ELECTRICAL (BUS) configuration for use when the APU is running .... and second/seperate ELÑECTRICAL (BUS) configuration for use after the APU has been shutdown and after engine startup.
Failure to trransfer from one ELECTRICAL (BUS) cvonfiguratiuon to the other "WILL" result in an "ELECTRICAL FAILURE" within several minutes after engine startup .... or .... after departure. This will normally take out the AP, Radios, and possibly some flight instruments too.
I want you to very carefull read "SECTION 2" of my "DC9 PANELS INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES" posting .... a 4 part and locked thread located at the very top of this forum page. "SECTION 2" of this thread describes precisely how (in FS terms) these panels must be set up/configured .... both per a defult engines running .... and .... a full cold start set up requiring use of the APU system to start the engines. Correct configuration of the panel ELERCTRICAL (BUS) system for each scenario is discussed in both tutorials.
So long as these tutorials are followed "precisely" there is absolutely "no way in the world" any electrical failure can/should occur wityhin this simulation .... at least I´ve not been able to replicate such .... except in cases of the ELECTRICAL (BUS) system being improperly configured to start with and which was checked "very thoroughly" during testing as I wrote the said tutorials.
