Of course I can set this for myself (I have quite a few changes locally on the Harrier model) but when something is as uneccesarily annoying as this I'd prefer others without that knowhow didn't have to suffer it. I completely fail to see how anyone benefits from a mad scramble for control of the aircraft on FG startup... particularly since on the carrier it's often over the side by then. This aircraft has a parking brake IRL unless I'm very much mistaken - surely it's sensible to use it here? How many pilots IRL have to jump into the cockpit of a moving aircraft and immediately hunt around for the brakes to avoid a crash?
