Change Default Plane/Airport?

How can I change the default airport and airplane that I want to use?

>How can I change the default airport and airplane that I want>to use?Set up the Free Flight options as you want them (i.e. aircraft, airport, weather). Click on Save. Enter a file name, and click on the "Make this the default Flight" box, then "OK".Happy Flying, Stewart

Here's another fun trick: In your "My Documents" folder, you'll find a folder called "Flight Simulator X Files". This is where FSX stores your flight (.flt) files whenever you save a flight. If you right-click on any .flt file and choose "open with" then select FSX.exe (you might have to browse for it) and tick the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box and click okay, you can associate flight files with FSX. Then, all you need to do to jump directly into a flight is to double-click that flight file and FSX will load it immediately, bypassing the initial startup screen, and obviating the need to set default files. It's a nice shortcut.
