Understanding Panel vs. Flight Save/Load States:
When it comes to saving your flight, there are a few things that you should
clearly understand in order to avoid confusion.
Saving a Flight: Saving a flight is done via the MSFS LOAD/SAVE menu.
This will save the airplane position, status and configuration into a file that
can be loaded at a later time via the MSFS LOAD/SAVE menu.
Saving a Panel State: Saving a panel state is a bit different. Panel states
allow you to save the airplane’s current configuration without any regard
to the phase of flight or location of the airplane. This being the case, panel
states are entirely mobile and thus give you great flexibility.
For example, let’s say that you want to create a condition in which the
airplane is on the ground with the APU running, the IRS’s aligned and
everything ready to start the engines. You do this by setting the airplane
up as you desire, then going to the PMDG SETUP menu in the FMS and
pressing STATE SAVE>.
You will be prompted for a name for the panel state, and the FMS will
then create the necessary files in your <MSFS ROOT>\Packages\pmdg-
aircraft-737\work\PanelState folder.
Once this state is saved, you can have the airplane in any location in the
MSFS world and use the STATE LOAD> prompt to instantly put the
airplane into the desired configuration.
We have created some panel states that we thought might be desired by
users. Each of these states have been pre-configured to set up the
airplane in the correct state as described in the file name:
