dmb06851 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I thought that it was possible to do this but I don't remember how, and I don't see any way of doing it. Perhaps my memory is wrong? The only thing I can do is set the gate or parking (at Heathrow for example) but how can I set it so that the aircraft isn't fired up? I've read the answers to similar questions. I'm now trying to find out how to save a flight where I shut the aircraft down before exiting. Equal rights for equal responsibilities. Equal opportunities for equal abilities.

Slammr Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Was just reminded how to do this the other day. :) This is from mrzippy: "I use the default Baron 58 as my "Default flight" I do leave the Avionics switch on. The reason being that if you start a flight in a 737 or 747 (neither of which have an Avionics switch) you will then need to program a keyboard or joystick button to turn it on. Be sure to have your throttles at idle, and mixture to full rich and parking brake set before saving your condition. If the mixture is not saved at full rich, you will not be able to start your jet engines. Mixture=fuel levers on jets." You don't have to make it your default flight, tho. Just save it as something like "Cold & Dark" or whatever and load it when you want. When you load it, you can switch to whatever plane you want and move it wherever you want and start 'er up from there. Hope that helps! :) Slammr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitively make it the default flight! This way you can choose any aircraft and any destination and go have a good time! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

PhantomTweak Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I've found it easiest to follow Mr. Zippy's directions. Put the default Baron 58 at the gate you want, props full forward, Mixture full forward, Avionics switch ON, everything else, including the engines, off. I'd wager you can set the weather, too. Save flight as default. Bingo! Load the Baron saved flight, change aircraft and go flying. Hope that helps a little.

mrzippy Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Bingo! Load the Baron saved flight, change aircraft and go flying. Hope that helps a little. Pat☺ Absolutely no need for this last step! Once the default flight is created, any aircraft will start up in this condition at any location. I NEVER fly my default flight. It was created to give me a cold and dark aircraft only.

PhantomTweak Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ahhh, Ok, Zippy, sorry about that. Not what I do. Sorry for the misinformation!

StringBean Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Once the default flight is created, any aircraft will start up in this condition at any location... [added]...when started from the Free Flight screen. Loading any other saved flight could overwrite the cold and dark settings. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?
