im one of those guys who has as much fun starting the planes up as i do flying them!

so C and D configuration is very important to me

what i have been doing for years is..right after installing FS for the first time...i put the default 172 at my home base airport...i then shut everything down...and save it as my default flight...

once i had to leave the avionics on and mixture rich...because it blocked those things on some other add ons when i tried to fly them...but i havent had that situation since i switched to FSX

also i set the view and atc window the way i like too...and it remembers


as far as putting it as an ace option...well... i personally like when  add ons recognize the default flight configuration instead of ignoring it
