I've been trying to make either the MilViz F-4E or the SWS F-4B start from a saved point. Both airplanes start holding on the runway in position ready for takeoff. Except they're not. A number of switches must be positioned to drop the flaps, turn off all the warning lights, etc., to make the airplane genuinely ready for takeoff. I have tried pressing the semi-colon (
to save at the point where it is fully configured. I then exit the flight and upon return "Load" the properly configured flight. All is well except on re-loading the flight I have just configured loads as if I had not re-configured anything. All the warning lights are on, the flaps are up, etc. It's as if I had done nothing to change the configuration, switch positions, etc. The same problemn exists if I have taken off before pressing the save semi-colon. Then "loading" will cause the flight to pick up exactly where I had pressed the semi-colon (airborne), but with the same incorrect starting configuration . I'M STUMPED. Any help will be gretly appreciated. Thank you.
