Skip preflight?

[Zieselfan]

Hello team.

Is there a way to skip the preflight?
If I try to remove the pitot covers from the EFB for example, this is not working.

How to skip all this preflight stuff?

Thank you.

Bye

Yeah, it's annnoying that it can't be done from the EFB. Next time when flying IRL in an airliner I'm going to watch closely if the captain leaves the cockpit to remove chocks and pins himself! He can also clean toilets on his way back!

Hello,

Unfortunately no. This is feedback for Microsoft as this is their decision. 

Thank you

Ok, starting outside the airplane is their decision and I understand that you can't change that but it really can't be made on your side that chocks, pins and engine covers are removed from the EFB like in MSFS2020? Let alone that all displays do the 40s initialization when I get back to the cockpit again.

But removing engine covers, pitots, and chocks via the EFB doesn't work. Pressing the buttons does nothing. Can this be fixed?

As it stands, the EFB options do not communicate with the simulator chocks etc and that is, from what I understand, an issue MS is aware of. Can't give out any dates when this should be fixed but hopefully sooner than later 🙏
