January 23, 200422 yr Is there any way to post a poll on these forums?I'm curious about something - I almost always (90% of my flights) originate my FS flights at KLEB (new hampshire) and fly south to NJ or Philly, or DC if the kids are sleeping ;). Many short low flights within NH and VT. Occasionally I'll fly north west to Burlington or Montreal, occasionally east to boston, once to Kalamazoo to deliver Brat's. When I'm not flying the northeast, I'm sight seeing around the rockies, cali, New Mexico. My point: Nearly all of my AS2004 experience is headed south...(please refrain).I'm wondering two things - first, do most of you, like me, usually fly the same direction, or maybe even the same flight plan, when using as2k4? Secondly, is there a correlation between users who report winds problems and their preferred direction of flight? Just a thought - maybe the FS9 bug with ascending into counterclockwise rotated wind layers is exacerbated by direction of travel.I apologize to those who are troubled by winds, but I fly the PMDG 737 from Manchester NH to Nashville TN, or vice versa, almost weekly and have never overstressed, I see mild windshifts (<10kts), but since the Alpha rarely even get overspeed warnings. That said, I have almost never flown the PMDG outside the BOS-NY-DC corridor - maybe once KEWR to KORD. Is that a reason why I find AS2004 fantastic with regards to winds and weather?Love to hear what others think.Best,sg [email protected] | 32gb RAM | EVGA GTX1080 8gb | Mostly P3Dv5 (also IL2:BoX, DCS, XP11)
January 23, 200422 yr I always start my fligths in my home area too (Denver, CO). While there's lots to the west that's interesting (Rockies, and some very interesting approaches such as EGE and the infamous ASE), to fly west means hours (even in a jet) or very boring countryside- which I never get to complete and always re-start in Denver.Can't comment on the winds issue as I'm a new owner of AS2004, but so far no issues.Bruce.

January 23, 200422 yr I used to fly all my flights from EKCH copenhagen since its my home airport. This is due to the fact that I only want to fly from/to a nice add on airport. I don't wanna fly in to a default scenery - too boring. The most of my add ons is european airports. But now I have started to download all the freeware add ons I can get and check them out. If they are nice - I add them to my add on airports excel sheet and now I have several hundreds of airports. To avoid always flying from the same airport, I now add last visit date in for each airport in the excel sheet, to avoid flying to the same airport again and again. Further more I desided not to "move" the aircraft to a new airport, but only get to a new airport by flying there. For me it has done flightsimming much more fun - and thats the most important.BrSteen
