Add to that list, set throttles to zero before starting FSX! Some reason, mine always are at mid point and after loading I shoot through the gates.

Sounds to me like you are still using the Air Creations Trike at Friday Harbor as you default start location. I use the default C172 parked and in a Cold-n-Dark situation, except for the Avionics Master Switch which is ON, and so I have never had that problem.
