Recently my fsx starts with a "Tower View" is there a way to get back to starting with the default "spot View?"

Generally, the sim should start with the view saved in your DEFAULT FLIGHT, so I would guess you might have saved a flight from the tower view and marked it as "save this flight as default flight". You could simply start that flight again, change to your view of choice and save it again. On the other hand, this may not work as I almost alway save my defaults from the LOCKED SPOT and it almost always restarts from the VC view - so what do I know?Peculiar as it may seem, if my spot view is off to the side instead of straight behind, it most often restarts from that view properly... go figure!Loyd
