I usually start from Seattle, WA (KSEA), Arlington, WA (KAWO) or Lake Stevens, WA (WN53)

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Heres a place that may interest you

Ever here of the ABC's?

3 Islands off the coast of South America which are:

Aruba (TNCA)
Curacao (TNCC)
Bonaire (TNCB)

Three tiny islands in the dutch antilles, with in 10 minutes of eachother! I base my operations/test flights b/c they are very nice airports, TNCA Orjanestead Beatrix Intl. and William B. Hato Intl. @ Curacao have an ILS! (Plus bonaire is a nice airstrip; perfect for practiing those manual landings), and they're all 40-50 nm with in eachother! Light winds all day (If your flying online) Just absolutely perfect!

Barksdale AFB, KBAD, for regular flying around or KCNY for the scenery, and "Somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico" when I'm testing effects. I wouldn't want to scare the beegeebers out of anyone on the ground when a "Warp Field" effect kicks in.

Believe it or not - good old default SEA. Great for a quick tryout of a new download. Takeoff SEA to the north - over to BFI for a touch and go then back to SEA, landing to the south. By then you know if you got a good one.

That's sure a quick flight... Grin

I fly in and out of Washington more than anywhere else

I assume you have the upgraded versions of Pearson and Victoria.
The upgrade for Pearson from SimV made it almost real. The upgrade for Victoria which AvSim put out (with some extra enhancements) is a remarkable representation of the harbour area of that city, especially for amphib traffic. These are both excellent choices.

Mostly fly the heavy metal in Australia, Asia and the Pacific - but have recently also set up Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Baltics and Russia!

The weather and scenery sure is a lot different! I saw the Northern Lights for the first time today flying from Riga, Latvia to Oulu, Finland - you don't see them going Brisbane-Sydney! Cool

How do you change the base of operatons? Thanks.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Go to any airport you like, and "Save flight", name it what you like, and, and make that your default flight.
