PMDG 737-700 - Cold & Dark Panel State
Version 1.2
- 1.2 loads with 5% fuel to ensure APU is available without ground power unit.
- 1.1 introduces an additional panel state setting "DEADEMPTYGROUND" where ground power unit already available.
Start your flight from scratch with a complete cold and dark panel state.
By using this file, you'll load in to the sim with:
- 0 Pax
- 5% Fuel qty
- 0 Cargo
Plane battery, standby power and emergancy light switches are set to "OFF". Flick down the switch guards and away you go.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions or comment with panel requests.
Installation
Download and unzip file, track down your "pmdg-aircraft-737" folder, copy and paste both "DEADEMPTYOFF.fmc" & "DEADEMPTYOFF.sav" into your PanelState folder located within "pmdg-aircraft-737\work\PanelState".
Steam directory:
C:\Users\*your user name*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\
MS Store directory:
C:\Users\*your user name*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\PanelState
Once installed, load a flight with the 737. Depending on your current panel state settings, you'll need at least battery power ON so you can use the FMS to load the new panel state settings.
Please follow the next steps correctly.
- PMDG SETUP
- Click STARTUP STATE
- Select "DEADEMPTYOFF" and EXEC
- Select PANEL STATE LOAD
- Select "DEADEMPTYOFF" and EXEC
Aircraft will now load DEADEMPTYOFF panel state by default on every future flight.
*DEADEMPTYGROUND*
Please use this file if you wish to load your flights with the ground power unit already attached.

Hello, I'm still playing around with the 800 panel state settings and will be incorporating a few updates for the 600/700. I will sit down create a specific 800 upload today.

Nice idea, but it seems the panel state is not working with the lates PMDG Update from 24/6: After energizing, the Pilot´s all Panels stay black. Please have a check of this.

Don't want to be a party-pooper. but fuel in 0 is nearly impossible in real life. 😶. Everything else is just perfect.

Yeah I thought that'd be the case. I figured it looked better when fueling for your first flight though.

Hello, as the aircraft loads in complete dark state, you'll need to switch on plane battery power which is located on the overhead panel.

"Once installed, load a flight with the 737. Depending on your current panel state settings, you'll need at least battery power ON so you can use the FMS to load the new panel state settings."
I think you can get around this by holding down the MENU key on the FMS for around 5 seconds.

Thanks, I was unaware this was an option.
