Hi everyone!If I'm not mistaken, there's been an option in MSFS settings, which allows to place the AC into the departure airport with no engine started. Or was it an option in PMDG Settings?Now the AC always appears at the initial airport with all engines (and APU as well, I believe) started. Is it possible to disable this? Or do I have to choose some "cold & dark" scenario every time I'd like to start everything manually rather than relay on MSFS accuracy?Thanx in advance!-- M.A.P.

Please sign your real name to your posts...You need to load the Cold and Dark panel state from the PMDG menu or create your own by following the shutdown and securing checklists and then saving that panel state.

Sorry for the missing name and thank you for help. I thought there was an extra option. Well, if there's no option, I'll load the panel state each time, for it would take too long and it would be a nonsense to follow those engine stop cheklists at the beginning of the flight, ain't it? ;-)-- Michael A.
