Wonderful! I'm way too disorganised to do something like that but I feel the world is a better place just knowing that someone is!

When organization means reading a Tintin & Snowy album rather than simbriefing a flight I am all for it.

There are a lot of crazy smallish airports in south-central Oregon about halfway between Medford and Bend, if you want to try some really challenging stuff.
The airports I am talking about are generally 3000 - 5000 feet in length and surrounded by 3000-6000 foot hills and mountains. 

I don't know if it's a bug in the game with tree height and placement (probably), but some of the landings are almost suicide without a tree mod.

These airports are more difficult to land at than most of the foreign ones in the mountains of France, Italy, or similar places.

About the only off beat thing I did was flying across various houses that I lived in over the years, back when the game first came out.

Did a couple of landing challenges but found it very abstract as it throws you in the situation with little or no time to prepare the aircraft.

Bush trips I found frustrating due to lack of just being able to navigate, or at least the game giving some clue where to fly without disqualifying the achievement.

Discovery flights, not much point to the longer ones as I don't think you can save and resume the journey.

But generally I just enjoy flying the heavy iron, same as in FSX and FS9 before it. It's the reason I got into flight simming (and to some extent computer gaming) in the first place, starting with Thalion A320 Airbus on the Amiga 600 in 1993!

OK will someone tell me to get started with a Discovery Flight? I knew at one time, but, old age has reared its head again.
