Starting a flight with Engines off!

Is it possible to create a flight, and set it so that your plane is OFF when you start it? (as in, you have to be the one powering up the avionics, the batteries, the engines, etc. etc.). I'm beginning to think that the engine-start checklist is just there for show!

Umm... This should help.

It's the Read of kneeboard key-board commands. 👍 Hope it helps.

😀 Hello Go to your departure airport in whatever plane you fancy and park where you want, then shut down all engines,lights,radios etc,etc.
Now save the flight and give it a name.
Next time you load this saved flight you will be in a cold cockpit

Hope it helps

Yes, and I also think that if you change your airport after loading your saved flight, engines will still be switched off, creating a default "coldstart" loadpoint for your FS Flights
