Hi pdonnelly.

First. Start FSX, once in the Start Screen, select the default C172 (do not select the G1000 model), click on FLY NOW. Shut the C172 down.

Mixture Lever to CUT (0%).
Master Battery Switch OFF
Avionics Master Switch ON - it's best to leave this ON, not OFF
All light switches OFF.

This gives you a Cold-n-Dark setting, but with the avionics ON. Once you have done that, save the flight (it's up to you if you checkmark (tick) the box beside Make this the default flight). I have made it my default FSX flight.

Then load one of the CS C-130 X-perience C-130's. Then do the following to start the engines:

Using the 2D OH Panel 1 (Upper) and 2D Throttle Quadrant Panel only.
