Base of Operations

[Skittles]

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

[JJH]

CYVR Vancouver BC (including a dock I inserted for Floats)
CYTZ Toronto City Centre (Downtown Toronto ON)
CYTR Trenton ON ( Big CAF base east of Toronto)
CYQA Muskoka ON (small airport in cottage country on which I've been practicing my AFCAD skills)

All reasonably close to home and short hops.

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.

Pearson.
Victoria.
Frankfurt.

Scalper:
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.

Yes I have the toronto one.. very nice for free ware. I guess thats why there is no pay ware one.. I have the victoria from this site. so no ship traffic. and I use fs9.

[Stewy44]

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!

[Fozzer]

I rarely fly very far from my Home bases throughout California in my small GA, Piston Props, hopping from one Airfield/Airstrip to the next to enjoy the scenery and meet up with friends along the way.. ...!

I have populated many of the Cal Airfields/Airstrips with my own designed LAGO FSE and Abacus Ez-Scenery designers....

..so.... a few of my favourite Airstrips to take-off and land back to, are Petaluma (O69), (Funny Farm (4CA2), Byron (C83), South County (Q99), Half Moon Bay (KHAF)....plus many others which take my fancy each and every day!... ...!

Low and slow is the way to go for me!......!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...and a cute little Cessna 150 Aerobat...Explorer!.... ...!

I have my sim set up to load at EGKA, Shoreham UK which is my closest airport and the one I'm having flying lessons at, so I use that a lot.

How do you change the base of operatons? Thanks.

[Boikat]

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