Returning to PMDG 737NGX after an absence. Can't recall how to bring up a 737NGX Cold & Dark cockpit. I have tried everything I can think of. Any HELP????

 

 

Any HELP????

 

Intro Manual - always.

 

...but for your convenience:

 

PMDG SETUP > PANEL STATE LOAD >

 

You can set up a default panel state just below it.

To power up from cold and dark, you will need to start with the Electrical Power Up Supplementary Procedure, FCOM volume 1, SP.6.1.

 

But note that as a pilot, you would very rarely ever encounter the aircraft in this state. Start with the Long Turn, or the Short Turn if you want the APU already running.

Basically through the CDU and hit PMDG Setup as Kyle said. 

Did that ( (changed panel state and Exec) nothing!!!! Or I should say engines are still running

Then you might've overwritten the panel state at some point, somehow. Make sure, as well, that you didn't just set a default panel state and expect it to work immediately. The default panel state is you telling the aircraft "do this any time you load," but the plane is already loaded, so you need to set the default panel state and then (this time only) PANEL STATE LOAD> Cold and Dark > EXEC.
