Yes - I did that - used the default Baron and switched to the Metro - it worked insofar as I was able to fly it...but since the start up is modeled as 'realistic' and the insta-start ctrl+e is negated, I expect it to work.
I see I am not alone in that it does NOT work as it should. I much prefer a cold dark cockpit but would welcome any method that does not include loading a default and switching - just kills the whole deal for me.
@ Storm - yes I have seen that vid and a few others, but when I follow the methods shown I get no joy - the plane refuses to start...I get the starter signature whine..but no ignition
...oddly the whine seems to initiate on switching to external view - more rare to hear it in the VC at least for me.
its a beautiful airframe
Also don't forget the mods...

Heywood,
What scenery are you using in this shot? I had to do a double take as I thought it was a shot of a real bird, until I saw the typical patchy green/black areas in the background typical to FSX. Though the Metroliner isn't my kind of thing, scenery is and that shot is fantastic!
PS, did the static aircraft come with the scenery too? Again, great looking scenery.
