Each Flight From "Cold and Dark"?

[Guest Ed Lin]

Please forgive me if these questions have been posted before. I'm very close to purchasing the PMDG 737 version of FS2Crew. Does each flight have to begin from "cold and dark" or can you begin a session, let's say, from "pushback"? I ask because like many who flightsim, time is usually a commodity with work, family, etc. Yet I want to add another level of realism to the experience.Thank you so much.Ed Lin, D.O.S.

Hello Ed,You are required to start in a cold and dark cockpit.If you're pressed for time, however, you can bring the pre-cabin ready to departure time to plus 3 minutes. That gives you just enough time to set up your FMC.Hope that helps,Bryan
