Apparently that only applies mainly to Asobo aircraft. From everything I found out, third-party aircraft primarily need to provide their own means for making that work. That's the case with the CRJ, for example. It's in the EFB and that's it.

In the Aerosoft CRJ I'm finding that the SHIFT-{#} keys are nearly perfect, but a couple are off by a hair. The upper-most area conflicts with the FS taskbar so I want the same view, but just nudged a bit. I cannot, however, figure out how to set the corrected view and overwrite, say, SHIFT-3. Is this not a thing?

I've gotten to the bottom of most of this: 1. The cold and dark thing was 99% me due to the layoff. I saw the first button in the CRJ EFB Options for "STATE" being Cold & Dark and stopped looking at that point as the rest of the buttons look entirely the same. The bottom one is, of course, DEFAULT STATE. Once I set that to Cold & Dark, that problem was solved. 2. The left engine issue, it turns out, is some goofy "Bravo Throttle Quadrant 2024 Planes" that I don't seem to be able to delete, that has some conflict in it. If it's selected, the engine will not fire-up. Move off that profile and it works.

So, as life does, it pulled me away again so I watched FS2024 happen from a distance and JUST got back to having free time again. I basically wiped FS2020 and started a bit fresh other than the Aerosoft CRJ which I updated to the v2.1 version which is current. However, I've run into a couple of odd challenges. One I feel like is FS2024 and the other the CRJ (and likely both ME doing something idiotically wrong): 1. Is there no way to tell the sim to spawn the CRJ (or any plane) fully cold and dark any longer? I know the PLANE has that as a State you can set, but it doesn't seem to set that as a sticky option and the next load, there I am outside the plane and the beacon's going, the engines are hot, etc. Tons of search suggest there is a setting during setup of the flight to set this, but I'll be damned if I see it. 2. Anyone with any knowledge of the CRJ, something changed and my checklist doesn't seem to work any longer. The APU SOV panel will not open when you hit the APU Power button (even if you wait the general 10 seconds). Nor will ground power work. So, for now, I'm keeping busy with MobiFlight and my hardware getting it all back up to speed, but I'll be wanting to get back in the air ASAP! hehe ANY help greatly appreciated, even if it's to tell me I'm out of luck.

Two items: 1. There appears to be more to this than just what's been discussed. For example, there's a PHANTOM railroad that runs across a runway in, Miami, if memory serves. Upon further investigation with alpilotx, he noted it was OSM data put there for historical purposes. Thus, it's a train route that shouldn't be showing at all as it hasn't been there in ages. He believed, at this time (and maybe this has changed) that he wasn't excluding specific types of data (as this was, I believe, marked as historical. 2. Could someone provide a short tutorial on how to exclude these in WED? I tried and, I guess maybe it's now age, but it just didn't make any sense to me. I had a great one just yesterday. If you try to fly out of JFK, you can't leave the terminal. 100% of the terminal is surrounded by an elevated road, with supporters, that traps you. It runs all along the taxiway. That was fun. I've also had scares of oncoming traffic while rolling down runways. Pretty bizarre when you're not expecting it.
