How do you cold start your planes?

[diego999]

The minimum so the aircraft doesn't complain.

I launch without checking systems. i don’t want to waste time on such procedures, since I have little time for flights.

This.

To add on this, for some modules i need to use the magic button (aka autostart) since i cant learn them all (though i can cold start like 8 planes/choppers).

If i may, i am really happy that some developers like Razbam, enable stored alignment options for the INS. I have too little time these days to wait on a 4 min INS alignment everytime i fancy a flight in a MP server. When im older if i have more time and can join a squadron that makes realistic missions i will make full procedures and i will find the joy on that, including full briefing and debrief for a total of 2/3 hours per mission.

However, many people on this community are control freaks that won't even allow anyone to request options for faster real flight time, like pre stored INS or hot starts for those that have less time. It is getting too close to warthunder or ace combat by their rigid mental framework.

I only fly F16 and MIG29. launching F16 is not difficult if you dont do system checks.

why waste time online on checks?

Their servers - their rules. You're free to choose another server, make your own or play SP.

Cold starts on public MP are useless anyway since everybody can just autostart or use macro with no way to control it.

My point was not about servers, read again, matter of fact in all servers i play (all of them very crowded like contention, ECW...) if i have the pre-aligned option in my harrier it can be used with no problems.

I was directing my requests to developers and my critique to those users that always complain about these usability&inclusiveness options.

I used to cold start everything, then got bored with it and use hot start on my missions.  I also have a locked momentary switch that's mapped to auto-start and auto-stop.  It used to be a regular momentary until I found out there's not enough time to air-start the engines on an F-18 if you hit auto-stop accidentally at 33,000 feet.  Sometimes flipping switches by feel is fatal.

This is mostly because I'm in the short time for play crowd.  I still cold start on occasion just so I remember how for a few of my favorite aircraft.  With others I've never, ever done a cold start.

The first thing I do when learning a new module is to build an abbreviated start up check list. Then I build that check list into a stream deck profile with a bunch of automation.
