Reliable way to Auto-start engines #8

Hi! First of all congratulations for this awesome addon!

I need to test it but i think that by using FlightSave with SimConnect it will save an FLT file on the users MSFS folder with the current plane state, which means that you can load that FLT file straight away with FlightPlanLoad when the replay starts.

Actually what I want to do is to start the engine somewhere in the middle of the replay.

Starting the engine itself is possible with auto-start event (won't be as authentic as following all the procedure, but I guess it would be enough for many cases).

However, imagine that you start the recording at cold & dark and then start the engine a minute later, I would really want the replay to also start the engine at around a minute after the beginning of the replay. Saving FLT repeatedly to detect that doesn't seem to be a very efficient solution.

But I'll try your idea of saving/loading FLT at the start. It might help to at least making sure the initial state of the replay is consistent. Thanks for the suggestion!
