Any way to make FSX change the default aircraft, airport, time zone and virtual cockpit zoom?
Every time I launch FSX I have to select aircraft, change airport, change time, when a flight is launched I have to change the cockpit zoom to 0.5 (best zoom to me). I wonder if there's a way to make the aircraft of my choice at the start-up, as well as airport and time. I think the zoom can be changed in aircraft.cfg, but just can't find it.

I mean I know where aircraft.cfg is but just can't find where in the file for the zoom change.

The only flaw of that link is: there is no Make this the default flight" check box at the end, so nothing achieved.

When you get to the "Free Flight " screen, the one with the spinning aircraft in the window.
Look below and there are 5 buttons, one says "save".
At the bottom of the save window is "make this the default flight".
