System Self Test Repeated in Short Turn Panel State

I followed the Cold and Dark Start Procedures from page 0.00.109 of the tutorial and stopped after setting up the FMC on page 0.00.112. I saved the flight and closed FSX. When I restarted FSX and opened the saved flight, the initialisation was as usual and everything looked normal except the right CDU was blank. As I waited, I could hear the sounds of the system self test including the speaker sound and I could see the right CDU become active.

 

For comparison, I restarted FSX with the standard 777 then changed the panel state to Short Turn. The same thing happened so I restarted FSX with the standard 777 then changed the panel state to Long Turn. This time, there was no system self test.

 

It's not a big deal but I'm wondering what would be the difference between the short turn and long turn panel states which would cause this?

No idea, but it's fixed:

"- Loading a panel state no longer causes the airplane to go through the entire cold boot / power-up sequence."

 

Always read the things that say "read..." :wink:

Thanks. I read the issue tracking thread when I was trying to find what had happened to my saved flight but it didn't occur to me to re-read it when I found the same problem in the panel state. I assume that solving the panel state problem will also solve my saved flight problem.

 

Edit: The one obvious difference seems to be that, in the Long Turn panel state, the external power is on and, in the Short Turn panel state, it is off, as it was in my saved flight.
