First OfficerI think I blipped a key that caused my sim to stop having the engine(s) already running when startup as was previously the case.
They are actually running but only for seconds and then shut down and I have to use Control+E to get them up and running again - this doesn't always happen properly, especially on 4-engined jets.
Can anyone please advise which keystroke will restore my engine(s) to be properly running on startup? Grateful for help.

TraineeI believe if you load the default flight (or a flight where you left the engine running) and save the flight while checking the "make default" checkbox, then it should keep the engine running. Not sure why 2004 got rid of the "engine running on startup" option.
First OfficerThanks for your response - I'll give it a go as I suspect it could well be something like that.
First OfficerYes, I did as you suggested and it worked a treat. I also switched planes and that also behaved impecably.
Thanks again for your help.
Chief CaptainI prefer to start in a cold aircraft and to go through all the checklists and startup procedure

Trouble is Insight, you never get off the ground... seeing that your checklist is always at least partly obscured by Becky's lovely portrait.

Chief Captainhehehehe 🙂
the thing that stops me getting off the ground is having her in the cockpit with me 😀
Chief CaptainThat has a cosy ring to it...
