You could save a flight cold and dark and then open it and move the aircraft to whatever airport you want.

i think it is faster to press the cold and start button in the fuel manager  i thought maybe we could edit a config or ini file to make it permanent. thanks !!

OK, you can edit a file to do this.  It appears to do what you want, but this will be unsupported in the event there are any problems.

 

Open the logic.xml file in the panel\DC81 folder.  You can use Notepad, but Notepad++ (freeware) is better.  It might look garbled in Notepad.

 

At the top of the file you will see a section labelled initial load.  Then there is a long list of items contained by curly brackets.  At the very end of that, right before the closing bracket, add the following line:

 

 1 (>L:DC8_cold_dark, bool)

 

It must be after all the other items.  It's just one line, so it's easy to remove or add back if you wish.    After the next update it will likely get overwritten, so you will have to add it back after updating.

it sounds very nice !! thank you very much  or in the next update you could implement it to the code. to remember the last state chosen on the fuel manager and start it always like that
