I have FS Dream team and the engines have to be shut down in order for it to work. I tried using a key in FSX, that didn't work. I also tried using FSIUIPC , that didn't work. What's the best way to start out cold?

In the fmc  you  can  change   the panel  state  to what ever  you like  when you first enter  the cockpit, this is  all explained  in the ngx  introduction  manual by the way on page  46.

You need the engines off for scenery to load??.... i assum its scenery as thats all googl returns for fsdreamteam

Think he is referring to gsx which requires to have your engines shutdown, has nothing to do with the airports or scenery with fsdteam

Ah yes of course all makes sence now
