    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Home airport with aircraft cold and dark

I am still trying to find my way around MSFS2020 but the biggest gripe I have at the moment is I am unable to set a home airport where my default aircraft is parked with engine off, all switches to off, battery turned off leaving the aircraft in cold and dark mode. At the moment the sim starts with the engine running and I need to get the brakes on quick smart.

Also is there some way that my controls from FSX Steam can be imported into MSFS?
 
Hi,

In MSFS it depend where you start:
- runway -> you start with engines running
- parkingposition -> you start cold and dark

Exactly.
That means that when you choose your departure airport, you have to either:
- zoom in enough on the map to see the parkings, and click on one of them to make it your departure
- use the dropdown list under the airport name field on top of the screen, to select one of the parkings (faster, but you don't see where the parking is located, contrary to above).
When starting a "flight" on a parking instead of the runway, your plane will be cold&dark.
