aircraft state after I leave it for cold and dark
My aircraft seems to undo all the ground connections when I get back in like wheel chocks are gone and the tie downs are gone too. The only thing remains is the piot tube cover on. Is this a bug because it's annoying as hell. Didn't know where to put this. Plus it does it on reload every time and everything is to date. Please fix ASAP.

In the controls menu (shift + 3) down at the bottom are six buttons I think. The top row, middle button selects "auto cold and dark" either "ON" or "OFF". Select that to "ON" and then see if that gives you the results you want.

Apologies again for the double post- very laggy tapatalk.

Also note that if you touch the brakes at all then the parking brake, chocks and tie downs will be removed. This is not a bug but a standard behavior of FSX, no way around it unfortunately.

I do have the auto cold and dark on, and it still loads without tie downs and wheel chocks. Don't understand what is going on.
Re: aircraft state after I leave it for cold and dark
Then I would have to say it is something in your setup, perhaps a "spike" in your rudder pedals that is activating the brakes and un-tethering your aircraft. For certain it has nothing to do with A2A as the correct behaviour can be duplicated in many, many machines. What happens when you go into the menu and re-apply the chocks and tie downs? Leave them on for a bit, go do something else and see if they are still active.
Re: aircraft state after I leave it for cold and dark
As others have stated, the "ground equipment" (for lack of a better term) is dependent on the parking brake being set. If you load the A2A C172 without the simulator registering a parking brake on.. none of the features will remain, and the aircraft will be set in a "flyable" state (I guess Accusim cannot tell if the aircraft is airbrone or stationary on the ramp?).
My solution is to start the sim with a default aircraft, ensure that the parking brake is applied, and then select the C172. Once Accusim realizes that condition is met, it appears to comply with the "load last state" logic. This logic applies to the engine as well, I can switch from a parked aircraft with the engine running, and the Skyhawk will load cold and dark...exactly the way I left it. I've noticed this with the windows too. If I leave them open when I shut down the sim, they will load open when the 172 loads with an applied parking brake. If I load without, they will be closed (and I have no ground equipment features).

Re: aircraft state after I leave it for cold and dark
I loaded the defualt aircraft and the parking brake wasn't set, now I am confused on why.
