It's quite common to want to start a flight simulator on a 5 or 7 or 10 mile approach so you can practice ILS landing.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg17544.html |title= Startup position offsets (fg_init)|author=Curtis Olson |date=Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:25:57 -0700}} </ref>| | It's quite common to want to start a flight simulator on a 5 or 7 or 10 mile approach so you can practice ILS landing.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg17544.html |title= Startup position offsets (fg_init)|author=Curtis Olson |date=Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:25:57 -0700}} </ref>| | ||
There are many aircraft with complex (realistic) startup procedures, and while *some* aircraft have an autostart function, there is no standardised property to control that function - though one could certainly be defined. Of course, that's classic standardisation chicken-and-egg. I'm all in favour of it, but it's not something that can be done in the short term.<ref> | There are many aircraft with complex (realistic) startup procedures, and while *some* aircraft have an [[Autostart|autostart function]], there is no standardised property to control that function - though one could certainly be defined.
