Re-initializing is fine, but any way we can set it to keep the “ramp start” option that was selected for the airport via the “Select Airport” menu similar to how it keeps the livery for aircraft?

As a specific use case, if the default spawn point (via the “Go To This Airport” button) is in the middle of an active runway and I want to change aircraft type while positioned at a gate/ramp, I have to reload 2x (once to change the acf, once to reposition myself at the airport since it kicks me back to the ‘Go To This Airport’ location when the acf loads).

This is especially troublesome for controllers if I forget to disconnect from VATSIM before doing so, as I’ve unexpectedly caused a runway incursion. 🙂

I think saving it as a ‘user pref’ fits with the same spirit of not having to open PlaneMaker to set a default livery.

Also – email coming re: the Core Audio stuff soon – it’s been a busy few weeks at “real” work despite my best intentions 🙂

We thought so too but you’d be surprised how much feedback we get on liveries. It’s quicker to fix the feature than to keep answering bug reports. 🙂

I agree that situation recall should be tied to QFL someday. I don’t think rendering settings ever will be.

Reloading and re-initing the aircraft and flight is intentional; authors depend on this to get their plane reloaded and we cannot reliably reload the plane without clearing out the flight. The new ‘change livery and keep flying’ button means you don’t have to reload a plane unless you _want_ to reload a plane.

It’s recursion…you say yes to one tickbox once – no problem. You say yes every time and you have a nightmare. 😉

I understand that the quickflight menu shall not be extended too much….but ;)…
– I hope the rendering settings will make it into the menu “one day” since my rendering settings often depend on where, when and what I’m going to fly. Since not all settings apply without restart it sometimes requires a restart just do get ready (for testing it’s annoying too).

– And I think it should be possible to load saved situations from the quick-flight. I don’t know any game (or even prog) that doesn’t allow the user to load his saved game or work at startup. It’s just reasonable.

I've submitted a bug report a while back about this.
not sure if this is considered a bug by the developers ? If not a bug, it is probably a nuisance for sure 🙂

It is only one small tickbox!…. you are a hard man Ben Supnik (laughs)
