February 4, 20242 yr … but never dared to do (maybe it is allready discussed or nobody except me cares) if I start a new flight in MSFS I have do choose the departure airport. The items in the combobox offer the last DEPARTURE airport(s). As I use to fly from airport to airport (most of the time) I would expect to find my last ARRIVAL airport in the Item list and not the last DEPARTURE airport (because I do not „beam“ back there to start the flight again but want to continue my travel from where I am, right?). so I have to put in the ICAO code of my present location each time to find my departure airport. Is that something that touches you in the same way or do you say: Next question please!

February 4, 20242 yr I find that it displays a selection of most frequented airports, airports I go to most often. I remember FSX and earlier versions used to display the last arrival airport, but a lot of things changed with MSFS. Mike Beckwith

February 4, 20242 yr It doesn't annoy me as much as it does to have to choose the specific controller profiles each time I change airplane into a different class, such as from GA to Jet /Airliner, Glider, Helicopter... I also mostly fly from 3 main departures, and usually always start from the same 🙂 Let's say I lack originality when it comes to simming 🙂 Edited February 4, 20242 yr by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
February 4, 20242 yr I agree it should display your latest arrival airport resp. the airport you were at when you returned to the main menu the latest session. And I never understood why it does not work at all when you have developer mode on.

Is that something that touches you in the same way or do you say: Next question please! It annoys me too. It would have been more logical when the last arrival, including parking location, was automatically selected as starting location for your next flight. Even better if that was remembered per aircraft or even livery.

February 4, 20242 yr How about saving the flight at the end? Doesn't it reopen in exactly the same place and state as where you left it? Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I tried using saved flights as my 'default'. Eg. I often fly the SR22T out of EGNT. So set up a saved flight for that. However, I soon noticed a huge drawback that prevented me from taking this idea forward; when I resume a saved flight, it's not possible to change the weather. At all!

And that alone makes the whole "save flight"-feature completely useless. In addition to that with complex addon aircraft the aircraft state isn't saved properly anyway. The useless "save flight"-feature falls into the same category as: Why on earth isn't there a simple user-friendly replay function like we had for ages in previous sims (not a clumsy one that needs to be reactivated on every session in the settings)? Why on earth isn't there a simple fly-by camera like we had for ages in previous sims? Edited February 4, 20242 yr by RALF9636

It will probably get ignored by "the community", but even so.
February 4, 20242 yr I use APL & SLC for all flights. I do use the World Map planner as well. I like to select my own gate according to where the departure runway is going to be for this flight. What drives me crazy is there is, most of the time, poor to no logical ordering of departure ramps/gates in the drop down. I'm not sure exactly how it should be ordered, and maybe I'm not picking up on the logic used. I would love to see the type/size of ramp/gate on the map itself, so that when I hover over Gate 24 or whatever it states it's small, or medium, or large or heavy.
