Michael Taylor Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Is there any way to set the cockpit up once and save. It becomes almost essential if I want to start my mission in the air. Seems like a pretty basic sort of capability for a flight sim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used other Sims and not one of them allowed me to setup every cockpit switch the way I wanted, can you name which other flight sim has this basic capability?

303_Kermit Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 You may change position of every switch during pause. It won't move, but right after you turn off pause they'll jump into desired position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyDog Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) You could, at least there is an option in the ME for that. You can make a mission, then click on Prepare Mission. It opens the mission, you can change the cockpit settings, then get out. It would/should save your cockpit state. However, this is an ancient option in the ME, and I don't believe it works as intended anymore. But you can test it, and see if the cockpit switches are persistent in the manner you left them next time you open the mission. Another way to do it, is to use triggers at mission start, and change cockpit settings using "X:Set Cockpit Argument number XXX" . It is more labor intensive, since you'll need to find which switch does what and what is the correct argument for the position you want, there are ways to find it, and some people have tables with all the arguments listed. It should work, but with ED's ME, sometimes it is hit and miss, and don't work as intended. If you described what you want, I and others may help you, by trying it out in the ME.

71st_AH Rob Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 If, under Options=>Misc., you have "Synchronize Cockpit Controls with HOTAS at mission start" checked, it will not matter how you set up the cockpit, this will override it and you would need to set your HOTAS controls to the settings you wished for the air start.
