Mainly Pacific Northwest... It was pretty much the only area with usable scenery in the early FSX/P3D era, and I got used to all the charming little airports there. As much as I like the exploration side of things, flying into familiar places – as you'd pretty much do in real life as a light GA pilot – also has a lot of appeal for me.

I use the map mod that really works beautifully in the US. I seemed to have concentrated on the Portland and Oregan areas lately but Houston and the industry around it I find endlessly fascinating.

Yes, I grew up in that area, though it's not a place I would want to fly back to 🙂

That said, the eastern side and SE Houston have a lot of industry, so you'll want the We Love VFR - Region 2 mod from flightsim.to. They are basically alien mini-cities of never-ending chemical plants.

Oops, I will add it.
Now added at the bottom of the list, also added Florida separately.
Had to add them at the bottom after a poll is already created, otherwise it messes up the stats.

Thanks. I'd already chosen California as a second choice but I fly in Arizona a lot more. 

I've spent most of my life in California and always enjoy flying in parts of the world I've lived in or been in but quite frankly since picking up A Pilot's Life have taken to flying all over the world including Asian, South American, Middle Eastern and European routes and find these areas more interesting and the unique regional architectures specific to cities, towns in these destinations are appreciable in MSFS which adds nicely to the immersion.  

I mainly fly in Alaska but also outside, the southwest (Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado...).

I grew up in Northeast NJ, and moved to Northern Illinois (Chicagoland) after college which is where I did my flight training. I fly almost exclusively passenger jet routes, and probably a bit more in the Northeast US (between the DC and Boston Megalopolis) and the northern Midwest. However, I have too many large airport addons to count, so I still fly all over the country.

Cheers, Pete

I marked California but really I’d say from the Rockies west and and southwest specifically.  Scenery is beautiful and varied, and since it’s four hours behind me I can get lots of real world time day flying in when it’s the evening at home.  Also the weather is great for real weather VFR flying.

used to be alaska.  But that's one area that's not terribly well done in MSFS.  

Alaska has some beautiful areas if you know where to go. Yah, some of it is mis-colored and poor resolution, but some of the most interesting looking scenery, airports, and approaches in the game are in Alaska.
