Note that loading/saving a panel state alone (with no corresponding MSFS
saved flight) is to be used mainly on the ground to switch between
standard states, like “cold &dark” to “before engine start” etc. Loading a
panel state that was saved for a situation on the ground while the aircraft is
flying makes no sense and can create strange situations, especially
concerning flight plan and FMS data that will be out of synch. If such a
situation occurs, you will see a message on the top of the screen that
warns you that the flight plan could not be loaded because it was
incompatible with the current state of the aircraft.
Failures Cannot Be Saved:
It is important to note that some
information about the state of the aircraft will not transfer through a saved
flight state. For example, the status of failed systems, mechanical
failures and emergencies will not be saved and reloaded when a flight is
resumed. If you wish to “re-fail” systems that became inoperative on a
previous flight, simply use the
Failures
menu to manually fail the desired
equipment. When the flight is resumed, the respective systems will be
offline again. (For more information on failures, please see the Failures
menu description later in this chapter!)
Load Panel State Menu:
The PMDG Load Panel State Menu is used to reload previously saved
panel save files. When selected, the Load Panel State menu presents
the user with a list of previously saved files. Highlight the desired file and
