    • Apart from the exciting early days of FS2004 experimentation (it was a massive advance on its predecessors) I have never started with the original default flight. That said, none of my saved flights have ever been saved as the default flight. The option "Save Flight" is a bit of a misnomer. It should have been something like Save Aircraft/Location.   On a humerous note, In a previous version of MSFS (possibly FS98) a freeware addon scenery for somewhere in the world accidently created a building about two miles high right smack in the middle of the runway at the default Meigs.
    • I love all the flight sims and use MSFS, XP11 and XP12, like many i kind of abandoned XP11 for MSFS, but i've been drawn back into THE X plane world with XP12...Yes its still got a lot of work, but it has the better feel as regards flight model and behaviour, and its got great potential. The sounds, the flyby views, the tower views, the much better camera options, the miles better realistic traffic that actually travel for long distances on roads (unlike MSFS's quantum tunnelling road traffic popping in and out of existence!), all make it far more immersive for me, the night lightening is a joy to behold with motorways full of AI road traffic, and trains, it all looks and  behaves realistically,...Here are some screen shots, with some with payware aircraft and payware ORBX  True earth for Great Britain.  There are also excellent global scenery addons from Simheaven and other addons which greatly improve the overall visuals. But even with teh freeware simheaven scenery it makes a big difference. 
    • I recall reading somewhere that the default flight has some settings that are applied to all other flights. I believed this to apply regardless of whether one loads the default flight first. I understood that it was to ensure that all systems are available even if not implemented in the selected aircraft. Thus if the newly-made Default flight's aircraft didn't have those systems then they wouldn't work in the selected aircraft, regardless of whether or not they had been implemented in it.   My aging brain doesn't retain any real detail but I think the original comments applied particularly to things like the availability of certain electrical or fuel systems. Feel free to argue or to add details -- memory really has become hazy and I suspect it was something I read before understanding anything about how FS9 works.   In any case, I interpreted that as requiring the default flight to be for the default Cessna so, many years ago I made a new Default flight with that plane and at my local, with better weather. I still use the Default flight so I may be keeping things current by chance, but I have never needed to load the Default flight before loading my selected flight. I think Flight1 recommended it for their C441 but I flew that for years as my Air Hauler beast of burden with no problems. (AH launches its flight directly so the Default was never loaded first).   Thoughts, clarification and corrections would be most welcome -- I haven't thought about this for years.   D
