If the OIS is not powered there is no way to change sim configuration and options

After updating to v1.0.11 I loaded the A350 and it had battery switches on but no External Power connected. That doesn't correspond to any of the preset states. So I guess the sim starts up in the state it was left last time it was run. That's quite a nice idea but if you aren't careful it's possible to be without power to the OIS on loading and have no way to change the sim configuration.

With only battery power I had no OIS and no way to connect external power. It should be possible to force the OIS to power up in such a condition so you can at least make changes to the configuration, load a panel state, remove the annoying engine covers, etc. PMDG use the CDU MENU button (held for a few seconds) for this purpose, an OIS lighting control button could do the same job in the A350 to wake up the display.

It should also be possible to choose your preferred start up panel state instead of having it load as it was left last time.

Just start the apu, and change it on the settings for next time

 

I realised that eventually, the problem was I didn't know what the start up state was. However, it seems possible you could be in a position where there was no external power and no fuel for the APU. I think having a way to use the OIS regardless of simulated power state would be beneficial.

The airplane by Default always has fuel in the tanks. I Believe its 24000Kgs. 

Having a way to power up the OIS would be kinda nice to have tho
