Getting Started

Do not use the X-Plane option “start each flight cold and dark” in the
“Operations & Warnings” page in the “Settings” menu.

If you do, XP will set some settings that I can’t account for.

Instead, start with the engines running, and push the “Cold and Dark” push button
in the “Hidden Cockpit Page”.

This will configure the aircraft cold and dark and will set up the aircraft for an
eventful start using this checklist.
