Previously I was able to start from Cold and Dark and work my way successfully through the procedures. Now my JS41 starts with the engines running at the end of the runway. I went through the Tutorial again, deliberately crashed, exited from a partial flight, shut the engines down normally ... but I still can't get my "Cold and Dark" back. Surely this must be something simple I'm overlooking??

Try loading a default flight (Cessna or Trike) before loading your saved JS41 flight. Hope it helps.

On top of Dan's advice. Shutdown the default aircraft entirely before switching to the J41. Not sure if this will make a difference, but I have solid results doing this.JB

Thanks guys ..... I appreciate the help and I'm running normal again. I did have the Cessna 172 as default but with the engines running. I shut everything off in 2D and saved as the default and all is well. Thanks again ....
