Normally, IF Professional starts the simulator with the flight file passed as an argument in the command line, so that the simulator knows which file to load. If P3D is not running when the command is made, the simulator will start up by loading this file rather than the default flight specified in the config. Not all functions are operative in this mode, so in this case IF10 Professional can start flights in various ways.
P3D can start with a flight file but unfortunately does not invoke several of the flight and navigation systems specified in the flight save file. This can be a problem especially when we hope to load right into a saved flight situation. With IF Professional the same flight file can be loaded again as soon as the simulation is started, and the systems are restored to the settings in the flight file. However, with some very complex aircraft, PMDG for example, the simulator can crash if the aircraft is reloaded in P3D.
We could set LoadDefaultFlight=True, and ensure our default flight features a standard or default stock aircraft with base settings. This way the first aircraft loaded is not the complex aircraft.
For Ideal Flight a way was needed to start aircraft and reload aircraft in the same way that works with all aircraft types, from PMDG complexity to ordinary aircraft. This should not add to load times and should allow repeated loading for time advances and to place the aircraft in the sky on final or approach.
Exclusive to Ideal Flight we can set EnableStartupTerrain=True (default setting). This loads the environment completely before loading the aircraft and ensures all systems are started properly for all aircraft types, without hanging the simulation when starting or reloading.
•EnableStartupTerrain: Setting to False will disable starting the environment before the aircraft when IF Professional starts any flights or advances.
