Well, if I save a situation or a flight in X-Plane 10 only the position, the height and the speed will be saved. No panel states. This happened with other aircrafts in x-plane and after I searched several forums the general answer was, that the framework of x-plane doesn´t allow to save complex situations.
So my question was, if PMDG has a solution for this^^ I´m afraid of loading a saved flight with the DC-6 12.000 feet over the atlantic and I have to run an inflight checklist for starting up the aircraft oO
