How to start a flight with your engine & electronics off

heheh...i too hate that..I wished MS could have provided an option to start a flight being parked at a gate..instead of just an airport and placing it on the runway...Selecting a gate at the airport and cold cockpit when creating a flight would have been a good option to be added to FSX...This topic is already discussed in this forum.Please use search option at the top to search ..Hope this helps..

Hello, I am trying to find if there is a way to start a flight with everything switched off? I hate that such an option was not included. I want to start the plane myself!

Just start a flight at the gate, cut your engine's, press shift+M to cut battery, maybe open the main door and press ; to save that flight as default.

Next time you load it or any flight the plane will be as cold as a snowman.

Hope this helps.

But then i need to save a flight for every departure airport that i need to fly.
right???

Nope, last time I did this it had effect on every flight I configered after making that one default. To undo it I had to start everything up and make that the default again. Just try it, wouldn't hurt.

I had that tool for 2004. Will it work for FSX? I will try that and what NSX said. Thanks for the help!

Cold and dark start for FSX
