click the OK button to reload that saved panel state.
When the cockpit panel state is loaded, the saved position of switches,
key systems, flight plan and all FMS data are reset according to the
parameters that were saved from the original flight.
Keeping your saved flights in synch: We generally recommend
matching your Save Panel State files with your Microsoft Flight Simulator
saved flights. In this instance, you can reload a saved flight and the
PMDG MD-11 panel state and resume the flight normally.
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 Do Not Re-Load: It is important to note that some information
about the state of the aircraft will not transfer through a saved flight state.
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 activate the desired equipment failures.
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!)
