Of course. Set up the aircraft you want with engine off, and every switch
and so on how you want it. Set the view you require and the weather at the
part of your chosen airport whereyou wish to start.

Then save the flight and make it your default. Voila!

Well, yeah; that's one way of doing it.

Doesn't seem to make much sense, though - this would mean that every time
he wants to start a flight from a cold, dark aircraft, he has to go through
all that.

I think there should be a switch in FS that allows you to do this (next
version, please MS?)

But there's a gauge you can download that you install into the panel of
any given aircraft, and whenever you use it, you start up cold & dark.

I can't remember the name of it offhand, but it's on
