Can search for "cold and dark". Set it up with everything shut off, then save the flight and check the make this the default flight box.

Many stock aircraft don't have the switches and controls to start them in a realistic manner, so CTRL + E is about your only option. A lot of payware/addon aircraft have very realistic startup procedures. The PMDG 747, for one, takes about 10 minutes to go from Cold/Dark to fully started and capable of flying with all of the realisms settings on. And that's not counting fully programming the FMC. I've written a manual on the procedures at http://smithplanet.com/fs2004/pmdg/

Open a flight in the default Cessna and turn everything off (Master switch, engines, battery), then switch to whatever aircraft you want, save the flight, and when you reopen it, everything will be off. At least that's the answer to the question I THINK you're asking. ;-)
