Hi guys!
Is there any way in FS9 to setup a default "Cold Start" or "Cold Cockpit" It would be cool not to have to hit the Sft-L,Sft-M And so on. Thanks Blaze

Without any kind of add-on, it suffice you shut off everything (make the cockpit cold and dark yourself) then save the flight as your default one.

Opening FS next, you'll find your cockpit cold and dark again.

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

That puts you at the location, and the aircraft, etc, where you were when you saved the flight.

I think the idea of the "Cold and Dark Cockpit" file was to start you off on the Main Flight Sim Menu when firing up the Sim...Cold and Dark, and "Create a flight" from the beginning.

Paul...

...!

If I can remember that far back, we were at Meigs Airfield, cold and dark, when we first fired up the Sim, and that became the default, before we started saving our flights.

Creating your own "Cold & Dark" situation & saving it as the default flight would do exactly the same thing.

Turning everything off and saving the flight is what I've always done.

Nope.

Every flight you start from anywhere after having done that will be Cold & Dark.

And I know it because I DID IT. Tongue

Since we're talking in sync, and not in time delay, it's late November here in Italy too, but where I live, in the high hills of the Appennino, it's hardly ever hotter than there (yesterday evening we got about 0° C with no cloud coverage and a LOT of humidity, which you feel a lot if you have to go out your heated home to tip your car's tank when the prices of the fuel is slightly lower using the fuel stations' nightly self service), and even if I like the colder season better (you can easier shield yourself from cold than humid heat in mountainous environments... seaside places are another and sadly quite distant matter for me), I DO understand the sentiment all too well.

I Know!....It's more then some old hobby!....It's a Life Style!...................or a sickness. <---- For The Lady's! Grin

As always Thank you for your Exxxporteeezzzz! Blaze
