[jordanal 70]

To finally lay to rest the year-old question of what the new startup position was going to be for FS10, would one of you lucky Best-Buy customers care to enlighten us?

>What is this, is it changing based on the time-zone setting>in the OS or something? Differnt startup places for different>folks?I answered this question several weeks ago. Startup location is dependent on the language version purchased. All these flights and associated weather files are in the ..Flightsother folder. We can easily copy/paste/rename any of them to "FLTSIM.FLT" and "FLTSIM.WX" to set our default startup location as desired.Or, create your own default statup location & weather and save in this folder as named above. ;)All English language startup is in Friday Harbor as noted above.English:Title=Over Puget SoundDescription=Explore Friday Harbor and the San Juan islands in Washington State.AppVersion=10.0.60711FlightVersion=1German:Title=Over FrankfurtDescription=Fly over Germany near Frankfurt/Main airport.AppVersion=10.0.60605FlightVersion=1Spanish:Title=Over BarcelonaDescription=Discover the Spanish coast near Barcelona's El Prat Airport.AppVersion=10.0.60606FlightVersion=1French:Title=Over NormandyDescription=Visit Mont Saint Michel near Pleurtuit-Saint Malo Airport in France.AppVersion=10.0.60606FlightVersion=1Italian:Title=Over CalabriaDescription=Fly along the coast of Italy near Reggio Calabria Airport.AppVersion=10.0.60606FlightVersion=1Japanese:Title=Over JapanDescription=See the sights near Mt Fuji.AppVersion=10.0.60605FlightVersion=1Polish:Title=Over PolandDescription=Tour the north coast near Lecha Walesy Airport.AppVersion=10.0.60623FlightVersion=1
