Lost my "previous flight."

Hi all.
The title say's it all really. When I go to "Load" from the main menu I no longer have the option to load the previous flight.
Now I know why this might be. When I did have the option the only flight that would ever load was the original default flight that comes with FSX. Didn't matter how many flights I'd made, I ended up in the microlite over Friday harbour or where ever, so I deleted it thinking that FSX might re-build the previous flight, but it didn't ::)
Is there anyway of restoring the previous flight option?

Zaphod.

FSX does not do an auto-save of the 'previous flight' as we had in FS2004. If you install the (unregisterd) FSUIPC4 it will auto-save the 'previous flight'. Remember that you have to Exit (ctrl+c) the sim from the flight. Do not End Flight (esc) back to the main menu.

If you then want the sim to load your 'previous flight' at start up, you have to make it your default flight.

Thanks Dave.
I do have FSUIPC4 but I have to say it seems like a bit of a backwards step from FS9. I still don't really understand why I was offered the previous flight option before I deleted it.
Anyway, I'll go down the route you sugest and see if it works for me.

Cheers.
Zaphod.

Thanks.
