I am trying to set my default flight as the L39 shut down, in parking. i loaded the L39 and went through the shutdown checklist, then saved the flight and made it the default. When i load this flight now, most of the switches on the main panel are on, and if i remember correctly the plane is on for a brief second when the flight starts. is there a better way to do this?

Make sure you have ALL switches OFF before you save a flight.

also, is there a way to disable nose wheel steering on the L39 and Mig

This is good question
Open L-39 or MiG-21 in FS Editor and set STEER ANGLE=0 in GEAR section.
