In light of the recent Jetways depressurisation incident and in order to 'force' us to do a good panel scan at cold&dark, I was thinking  we could have a new type of random failures that incorrectly places a switch/nob/breaker when we load the cold&dark panel state. That would help develop proper reflexes. What the point of having all of those brakers is we dont play with them 😉

You are always free to play with whatever knob and switch you want to. There are also many failure simulations included.

Regarding the randomly set switches, PMDG are developing or beta testing their new Global Flight Operations system that will, to say it as easy as possible, simulate a living world in which you will use an airplane that has been left from its previous crew in whatever state they left it. So you will have to do your preflight checks just as you describe it.
