Quickest way to skip walkaround/preflight (SU2)!

Featured Replies

As we all know you have to use SHIFT-C to get in (and out) of the cockpit at the start of the flight. Now SU2 beta offers a new option to skip the pref-flight part (remove chocks and covers etc.): you can assign a key to QUICK PREFLIGHT. So get into the cockpit ASAP (a lot of people hate it that you can start in the cockpit right away) you need to press the newly assigned key and then SHIFT-C . Nice improvement. Great! But... this can be done even quicker...!

Tip of the day: assign SHIFT-C also to QUICK PREFLIGHT! 

(If you use another key to get into the plane then assign that same key to this new function. Duh.)

So: you start a flight, click on Ready to fly and then simply hit SHIFT-C to 1. remove all chocks etc. and 2. get into the cockpit in one go! Just tested it a few times and it works like a charm.

Note that the QUICK PREFLIGHT option only does its thing at the very start of the flight: pressing it again (and again) won't do anything anymore. It's not a toggle or something. So after skipping these (according to some) unwanted and unneeded steps you still can use SHIFT-C all the time to get in and out of the plane. No problem at all.
