Hi,

why would you like that option ? Problems to start your engine yourself?

That would totally defeat the purpose of owning this aircraft. It is totally study level from the moment you step in the cockpit till the moment you shut it down. If you aren’t prepared to do that then you might as well download and fly nearly any other aircraft on X plane. 

That is precisely what makes it different and why it is worth the big money. No shortcuts in the real world...unless your a passenger, or the instructor starts it for you!

When we are debugging something, it is a royal pain in the a    to have to go through the whole start routine. It takes 5 minutes to load the plane and scenery and another 5 minutes to start the engine is a nuisance. If you want to play study level, you should have that option, but there are at times valid reason to speed up the process....... Starting with the engine running is NOT moral turpitude!

You can just quit the sim with the engine running and next time you load (make sure you have "start with engines running" checked in X-Plane), the engine will still be running. So the airplane does allow for it for quick testing.

Thank you all for your comments.

I appreciate this is a study level aircraft but sometimes I just want to get in and fly. It's as simple as that.

The starting checklist has taught me a lot and enhanced my skills and appreciation.

I would like to know how to set things cold and dark. Yes, I get that the idea is to get the plane in the state you last left it, but say the sim crashes, or somehow the sim is closed with things running, I would at least like to sort of "reset" on the ground without having everything running full blast.
