A good friend of mine sent me this message....see what you think:Hi Buddy, I just discovered this. Seems when you write a flight plansending an aircraft to an airport within 5-6nm it will stay in the pattern of the originating airport and land.There ought to be some simmers interested in this. And info should be free to all. These links have some info put them up too.http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DC...ID10/31094.htmlhttp://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DC...ID10/31168.html :-outta Francois :-wave[table border=0 cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0][tr][td valign=bottom" align="center]"At home in the wild"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:avsim.com/alaska/alaska_052.htm|Don's Alaskan Bush Charters]"Beavers Lead the Way"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:www.avsim.com/vfr_center/mainpages/vfr_flights_main_page.htm]VFR Flight Center]"Looking Good Outside"[/td][/tr][tr][td valign=top" align="center]http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/logo75b.gif[/td][td valign="top" align="left" colspan=2]http://www.fssupport.com/images/moose2.gif[/td][tr][/table]________________________Francois A.

Another way that works is to make an afcad overlay of the airport and save it under a different name/ICAO code. Now to figure what determines whether the fly a right or left hand pattern.
