I'm embarrassd to ask this Q but I can't locate a solution anywhere in the forum. I have been flying a Pilatus P-12 and haven't figured a way to save it so it's totally shut down when I next log on to fly. The engine is unstarted but all the other systems are a "go". Is there something I'm doing wrong? I would like to have the shutdown (am I using correct language?) aircraft as my default. Hope I'm not confusing anyone. Thanks.

I have this same problem with the Eastern 727-100 on this site, as well as the Airstar 717-200. I am understanding that the engine is shut down when you start a flight? Same problem here, no idea how to fix it. Maybe an edit in the .cfg or .air file? Huh

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

So, you shut everything off and save it but, when you load the saved flight everything except the engine is back on?
That's wierd. Usually you just save a flight with the conditions yoiu want and, if you want, check the "make this my default flight" box and you're set. If you have done all of these things and it is still not working it must be something else.....Cfg. etc....

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I just want to have a cold start when I log on. If I save a flight that begins with all systems go that's what I get the next time I log on even though I turned off the systems when I logged out. I'm trying to find a way to get a cold start all the time on certain aircraft. Therte has to be a way to do this but damned if I can figure it out. Of course, I'm an English Lit major do I have an excuse for being so puter illiterate Roll Eyes

In foregoing, I meant to say after I have saved the flight and made it my default flight before I logged out.

Which model is it?

There's an open field in the Controls Options under "Engine Controls" called "Automatic Shutdown". Set this and use it to turn the plane off. I have had problems shutting down several aircraft (including the Pilatus you're using) but this seems to do it.
