ISSUE DESCRIPTION
When loading a saved flight via the in-game Load feature, the aircraft state (such as switches, systems, flaps, gear, autopilot settings, etc.) is correctly restored internally, but the aircraft is always spawned on the ground in “Walkaround Mode” regardless of where it was saved (e.g., airborne, cruise, final approach).
This forces the user into a cold & dark state on the ground, despite the flight having been saved in mid-air with systems running.
Essentially, the aircraft loads visually & positionally correct, but then is forcibly put on the ground as if starting cold & dark walkaround upon clicking the ready to fly button.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Every time a flight is loaded via in the sim or autosave software (all use built-in MSFS2024 save/load system) (persistent, 100% reproducible).
