Cold and Dark Panel State for the PMDG 737-800 / BBJ2 / BCF & BDSF Freighters

This panel state switches off a few extra things on the overhead panel including the Voltmeter switches, Standby Power Switch, Air Bleed switches and Position lights.

The transponder is now automatically in Standby, and by default set to 2000.

All airframes will have 15% fuel remaining, and will have 0 passengers and 0 payload/cargo loaded.

The ground power unit is already in place waiting for you.

Installation Instructions:

Download and unzip the file, and depending on your version of MSFS 2020, follow the relevant path:

Steam directory:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\pmdg-aircraft-738\work\PanelState

Microsoft Store directory:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-738\work\PanelState

Drag and drop the "EMPTYCLDDRK.sav" file into this folder, you should see the default panel states in there already.

Launch MSFS 2020 and load into any 737-800 airframe, and do the following:

• Power the aircraft OR hold the MENU button on the FMC for 5 seconds, to switch the FMC on.
• Click PMDG SETUP
• Click STARTUP STATE
• Select "EMPTYCLDDRK" and click EXEC (this will load the correct panel state from now on)
• Click PANEL STATE LOAD
• Select "EMPTYCLDDRK" and click EXEC (You can now checkout the panel state and start flying!)

Feel free to change/modify this panel state to your liking!

Feedback and suggestions welcome! Enjoy!
