Propellers Feathered

[Bulva]

 I dusted off my MU2 in XP11 (I still use XP11 for VR).
I'm still in love with this plane.
I have some questions, though...
When starting the MU2 in Cold&Dark mode, shouldn't the propellers be feathered ???

Mine are in this position:

Is the only way to feather the propellers is to turn off the engines by moving the PROP lever to the "EMERG STOP" position ???

I have the "Save Control Positions of Exit" option checked,

but when I restart the plane (which I left with the propellers feathered), the propellers are always positioned like this:

 

How can I get the propellers to feather when loading the MU2 Cold&Dark ???

How does this play out in the real world  ???
