not bugs F-16 incorrect configuration when launched in flight

I'm not sure why this request has triggered such a negative response from some people.

1. Air starts are perfectly valid for time-constrained training purposes.  Sometimes you just want to practice a particular element of the aircraft and don't need the cold-start reps.

2. Not everyone maps every switch to their HOTAS or has a physical simpit.  The whole point of clicky cockpits is that you don't need to map and remember everything, you can just click on the controls as required, so the 'sync with HOTAS' argument is not necessarily valid.

3. Just because there are other higher priority issues with the Viper, does not mean we shouldn't raise these smaller issues too.  It is something which has annoyed me slightly.  Not enough to report it, but it is a little frustrating sometimes.

4. Since not everyone can 'sync with HOTAS', then all things being equal, surely it would make more sense to have these controls correctly set for those who can't? i.e. Master Arm SAFE, HMCS bright, correct CAT I/III config, etc.  Those who do 'sync with HOTAS' won't see any difference, those who don't will have a properly configured jet.

Finally - if any real Viper pilots can confirm, I'm slightly sceptical about the landing light being left on. I know it will switch itself off on gear retraction, but I would still turn the switch off, as any failure in the auto power off would result in an overheated and burned out lamp by the time it came to landing time when it might be needed.  I don't really see any reason why it should be left in the LANDING position, rather than OFF.  As a pilot and an engineer, I have learned, through experience, not to rely on interlocks, as they can and do fail.

^ Thx. The response was definitely not normal.

Might want to come down from your high horse a bit and look at it from a broader perspective. Either way, good luck with that report

Hey, hey.

He was clearly telling, if one sets a mission in the editor, the settings of the plan are always the same, regardless the mission settings, and you told him, he only has to set the sync control button, to do it right. He told you, that doesn't fix the problem, and he is right. Your "solution" doesn't fix the problem, not at all.  It's (at best) a band-aid, and for sure not a good one.

Sir, if one is sitting on a high horse, you are the one.

Perhaps you can't understand what he is talking about? Nevertheless, you should stop talking about one is sitting on a high horse, if you can't understand the problem, and your "fix" will not be accepted.

The problem behaves with all Quick and Training Missions, so, yes, a real good fix would be welcome.
