One method (and probably the easiest one) is to put the file in FlightGear/data/Nasal. It will then automatically be invoked at startup.

Mid air starts are smooth again and even ground starts are a little nicer, especially if you've left the throttle on the joystick open full. The screen shows the scene as it always does, the aircraft just isn't moving. Someone mentioned putting up a "Loading Scenery" message while this is going on. What's the best way to do this? At the moment I'm not interested in doing a fuel gauge. Just a pop-up would suffice. It's easy to do with a tiny Nasal script, which remains visible when a property (/sim/initialized ?) is false.
