If I want to practice landings at, say, KSFO, is there a way to set up a flight so it starts at 10,000', 15 miles out from KSFO at 220 kia ?,  [to use example numbers],

Thanks

@Treetops45 You can choose any point, I believe, as a starting point. I'd maybe start at ARCHI or EDDYY for SFO. I haven't found a way to set an altitude or airspeed, though... except that I think I did find some files in the aircraft folder for each aircraft that specify the starting conditions for in flight, on runway, etc. I'll look into that more, but give that a try. So just set your departure point as somewhere other than the airport.

Using the C152 I tried about 10 nm from KSFO, over land.

Left clicked on the globe & it produced a box, "Custom Departure". With GPS coords, Bearing, wind speed & an altitude of 1,640'.

I cracked the throttle to 75% & hit 'Fly Now' & the aircraft flew ok.

Not sure if 1,640' is a standard altitude, need to try other aircraft
