Can I load 747 cold & dark always

[krishcanag 0]

HelloI was wondering if I can load my queen of the skies 747 FS2004 version cold and dark always when I select a flight within FS2004?Or apart from the 1 option for cold and dark within PMDG section of flights and other way.thankskrishan

Yes.I'd STILL recommend loading the DEFAULT Cessna with everything OFF first (as a saved flight at your favorite departure airport) and THEN changing to the PMDG aircraft. Once you do so, you can load a PANEL STATE that you customized (i.e. start with the PMDG Cold & Dark and set it up like you want, and save).Best-Carl F.

You can go to the "yoursavedpanel.sav" and use notepad to make some changes there. Thats what I did and now I have all the switches in the off position. REALLY COLD AND DARK>

I don't have "yoursavedpanel.sav" under PMDG>747>PanelState. All I have is two files titled "UI generated Flight Save" and "PMDG 747-400 Cold and Dark KPAE Save". Which one do I make changes to and what specific things do you have to change?I been trying to figure out how to start in complete cold and dark.ThanksPerry Fincher

Save a flight in a cold and dark state. It will load cold and dark, at the location where saved. You can save flights this way at your favorite ramp/gate locations, or relocate to any location. Not hard.

This example all Nacelle Anti ice is OFF except #3Nacelle Anti Ice 1=0Nacelle Anti Ice 2=0Nacelle Anti Ice 3=1Nacelle Anti Ice 4=0Good luck and back-up......This is mine.....
