Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible in FSX to load an aircraft with the parking brake automatically on?

My new Airbus payware add-on won't let me load the plane in a Cold & Dark state unless the brake is set.

Cheers

Not that I have played about with FSX configs yet, but if it is like 2004, go into the aircraft config file of the aircraft in question and look for the line about the brakes and change it from "0" to 1. However before you do that, just have a look. To see if I am correct and wait for one of our resident gurus to confirm or correct what I have said.
The other option is to load the aircraft, set it to the state that you want and then save that as a flight. Next time you start FSX, just load that flight and the aircraft should be in the state that you want to start in, cold and brakes on.

Sean,

If you create a 'default' flight cold and dark, with the parking brake set, all subsequent flights you create at startup will start in that state.....

To do so: Create or load a flight and then set the cold and dark cockpit with parking brake set. Save the flight, but in the 'save flight' window check mark the 'Make this the default flight' box in the lower left corner.

This will now be the flight that shows in the initial 'Free Flight' window.

Hereafter, all flights you create in the initial 'Free Flight' window will start in that state, regardless of the aircraft you select. It will not override the state in any other saved flights.
