Welcome to SimV forums
Most definitely you can create a starting flight with any aircraft in your fleet in any way you desire very easily
This is all you have to do
Start up FSX then select the airport and gate you wish to start at. Do not use the active runway as that is not realistic.
Select the aircraft you wish to start with.
Now if the engines are running all you have to do is to press SHIFT + F1 This will shut down all engines.
Now to turn off the battery the easiest way to do that is to assign a keystroke I use SHIFT B
You should now be in a cold and dark aircraft If you still see lights after turning off the engines press the L key this will turn off all lights
Once you have everything the way you want it save the flight and make it your default flight.
That is all there is to it.
