-== Status ==
+== Choosing state ==
 To start FlightGear with an existing overlay add <code>--state=statename</code> to you command line.
-For now there is no definitive list of possible states. These are my first suggestions:
+Elsewise in the launchers main tab, you can choose which state you want to start with.
-* parking (meaning cold and dark)
+If you choose the Automatic state, Flightgear will try to guess which state you want.
-* taxi (all systems running and ready to taxi)
+That guess is based on the name (inside the state file). It will look for these names:
+* parked (meaning cold and dark)
 * take-off (standing on the runway with take-off configuration)
 * cruise (cruise configuration)
