Cold and Dark or why isn't it

[drh]

Hi,

I love flying your planes. I do have one question..On the Cirrus planes when I open them up they always have to cover and tie-downs off/ They also do not have the chocks under the wheels. I thought if I checked the persistent memory they would be on when I open  the plane.. Seems silly that when you go to fly the plane it is just sitting there as if it were in a used car lot. What can I do to insure the chocks and everything is in place as I would find it in cold and dark. Also the switch for the gas is always on? Why is that. Shouldn't it be OFF when you first climb into the plane? I shut it off when I leave the plane. Kinda messes up the immersive quality of the plane.

The persistent systems return the aircraft to how you left it when quitting the sim from the prior flight. Are you putting on the tie-downs, turning gas to off, etc?
