[SOLVED] Crash bar always up when starting new flight

[awebneck]

No matter just how cold & dark the aircraft is when I quit X-Plane, every time I start a new flight the crash bar is already up - is this by design?

AFAIK it should stay there were you left it ;-)

If not -> Bug (maybe)

If you left it up, you should expect it up at next reload.

If you left it down but it re-loads as up, that's a problem.

Need more info!

@Cameron I have now repeatedly left it down and locked - no power to the aircraft, even the standby instruments manually powered down. Quit X-Plane, Start new flight in same location, and boom: crash bar starts as up and the aircraft essentials start booting without me doing anything.

Can you please attach a log file from such a run? It sounds like the aircraft might be having trouble saving the state files.

@skiselkov Here you go. The first log is from a short circuit flight from startup to shutdown, after which I promise every thing was shut off including the crashbar. The second log is the log after I quit X-Plane and clicked "Resume Current Flight" (though the same thing happens were I to click "New Flight"). As soon as I was seated in the aircraft, on came the standby instruments, and I looked up and the crash bar was once more up.

@skiselkov @Cameron Ignore me, I'm an idiot. Had one too many beers the other day and mapped a switch to the crash bar then flat-out forgot about it, and it's been up the whole time. Feel free to lock and close this topic, and sorry if I led you on a wild goose chase.
