What is your Default Flight setup?

**Lionheart** · January 21st, 2009, 16:24

Hey guys,

Just wondering what everyone has for their default flight setups?

I realise some still have their original boot up screen with the Cessna. But some select alternative boot points, and/or to go directly into the default flight instead of the introduction screen panel.

Presently, mine is the stock boot screen with the 172. (New computer still, havent got everything customised on it yet).

Home airport Gibson Co, TN (KTGC) with Milton's Beech 18 in a Merc Air paint. It don't get much better than that. (at least for me :d)

mine is at Wake Island with the Ford Tri-Motor (the only default plane i kept)...

this way scenery/plane are all tiny, reducing the initial load...

Mine changes almost every few days. If I'm checking scenery I'm doing, a new aircraft livery I'm working on, flying a hop, etc. Whatever the last flight of the day was, then that's my default until I fly again, then that one takes over.

**MaddogK** · January 21st, 2009, 19:15

Meigs field in Chicago
Cold start at terminal, WOP P-51H with tanks.

**CG_1976** · January 21st, 2009, 19:36

mine is GTMO, McCalla field Cuba, the airfield on the windward side. AC is anything with a Coast guard paint.

***Moses03*** · January 21st, 2009, 19:48

In FS2004, the default flight is the Howard 500 sitting on the runway marked with an "X" facing into the southerly prevailing winds at DDJ in Frisco, Texas. The airport closed down in real life a few years ago.

My default setup is the standard boot screen, then LilSki's Aeronca 7BCM Champ at Riverview Airport (08C) which is a few miles from home. Scenery is by Jim Bosworth but IIRC his site no longer offers Michigan scenery. Got real weather and time set; the plane is shut off but primed and ready to go, parked next to the big hangar. Oddly enough I rarely ever fly the Aeronca nowadays; my current favorite is a slightly modded Lockheed Vega.

***TARPSBird*** · January 21st, 2009, 20:36

My default flight starts on Rwy 34 at Palwaukee Municipal Airport (KPWK) in Wheeling, IL. Default aircraft is Oldliner52's Koolhoven FK58, a beautiful little plane (available here at SOH) that flies very smooth even on my old computer.

My imagination had me find a new home a few days back. Always wanted a place in the country w/strip. My new start up base is on the S. side of the Wateree Lake that is situated about 7 mi. west of Camden, S.C.

Flying the lake I saw a house with a red barn and a grain bin pack house grouped together and was secluded and right beside the large beautifuly fingered lake. I said that looks like Dave's place! The start up plane is Bill Lyons Goose, cold, with Heather sherman's nice weathered bare aluminum paint, sitting on shore facing the lake, engine off and ready for trips to the various surrounding airports for business or supplies.

Some how I find this imaginable homestead very satisfying when making runs to the other city airports and then head back to my own private ranch. You got to be a good navigator when the weather's bad or at night returning home. Fun to put the tower view on the shore and watch the Goose head out and do touch and go's or wheel landings on the wide shoreline. Can't fly airliners out of it though.

Some professional addons suggest to mantain the original default airport and plane.

**GearyMcS** · January 22nd, 2009, 01:17

I still fly out of the default airfield. I have muliple installs. I tried once to change the default in one install and it changed the other installs also, ...so, if anyone knows how to set up multi installs to fly out of different airfields without affecting each other, I would appreciate learning how to do this.

Thanks,

Geary

When I was a kid (late 1950's) my uncle and I would occasionally stop by Palwaukee so I could watch the planes. Back then it was owned by Priester Aviation and they had an old Beech 18 or some similar bird mounted on a stick on the Milwaukee Ave. side of the field. I always thought that was neat.

Never got to fly until I joined the Navy.

Small world, Priester Aviation is where my instructor rented his A/C from and is still there as far as I know, but admit I haven't been that way in a few years. IIRC that plane is still there close to the restaurant parking lot.

If you rename your FS9.exe file in each install, it'll generate a separate .cfg file each one that's renamed. Then you can redo the default flight for each one you've renamed. I'd keep one set up default for those addons that look for the default set up.

Hope this helps
