Can any help, I have flight simulator X standard edition for now, I have watched videos of people starting out with a plane not running and tied down, they do a walk around just as you would in a real situation, how do I get to the point to be able to do this, I enjoy the game but I would like to be able to start from the beginning. Please help

See if this video helps.

I was given the information about the cold and dark start thanks, but I still cant figure out how to do the actual walk around the outside of the aircraft and do my preflight checks.
See if this helps with walk around.
As for pre-flight check, each aircraft would be different.
