Okay, I’ve been trying to get the MS website to tell me this, but it wants my product ID number to determine if they need to charge me for the answer to a question. When I go to the website to find out where this number is, it tells me it’s under the Help menu. No it isn’t. Under the Help menu is things like How to Fly a Floatplane, which doesn’t address my question.

My question is how do I do the following: I want to make a list of Saved Flights, in which each of these flights starts from a specific airport (that’s easy), and keep the weather that I selected for the flight, and the radio settings, and the navigation instrument settings. I want all these setting retained with the flight, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time setting up all this stuff every time I start the program.

Right now I have to set up the weather, and the radios, and the instruments every time I start up the program. There’s got to be an easier way.

Thanks.

I can’t answer your question, but the ID number is in the Help menu under “About Microsoft Flight Simulator”.

As a general rule Help =\> About [product name] will give you this type of information for any windows program.

I’ve reported your post with a suggestion for the mods to move it to the Game forum, you might have better luck there.
