• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Like so many, I lost the lot and I'm starting again. I know I should know this, but how to I begin a flight with the engine off?
:banghead:
Other similarly newbie questions will doubtless follow.
 
Easiest way is to set up your plane where you want it...turn everything off....save it as a flight... and then just load the flight up when you want it... I think this is what you want... give 'er a try..

Save the flight as the Default flight and all of your sessions will start with engine off.
 
I usually use Ctl+C to quit a flight. That saves whatever state your a/c was in as your previous flight. You can cut the the engines on a hard stand and then start from there. If you want to change back to starting engines on just Ctl+C with the engines on. You can also stop halfway through a flight and resume it though you may have to reset the time.

Thanks, I knew it was something like that. I think I was trying to save my flight as default from within the flight rather than from the create screen. Anyway, it's working now. On to the next problem!
