Autorudder as default

Is it a normal clean shutdown, or is there a problem causing the shutdown. Try firing up the sim and, once the flight is loaded, enable autorudder. Then use the FILE menu exit command before going any further.

If that works, fine, but if not then perhaps you don't have write permissions in the folder where fsx.cfg is kept (somewhere under documents, depending on your version of Windows).

You could also edit your fsx.cfg file and under the REALISM section check:

AutoCoord=False

or

AutoCoord=True

Set it to True.

That is why it is important to set the C-172 with whatever you want to 'keep' (sliders, realism, weather, time & season, clouds, wind, airport, runway, radios, electrical switch) and then save as 'DEFAULT' flight. This flight (and options) is what will be 'loaded' upon start of FSX. This is then a TOOL. Use it.

You can then select a different airplane, and then perhaps a FLIGHT so you can go start where you left off with that airplane, and at whatever the FLIGHT airport you were at when you saved that FLIGHT. This is also a TOOL. Use it.
