You save a flight you want eg: make a Delta 757 at ATL with weather fair and the sytem time, and save it. There should be a box on the bottom of the save window that asks if you would like to make this your default flight, check the box and when you reload FSX it will be your new default flight.

Hi Peter.

It is not recommended to create a default flight using an advanced third party add-on aircraft. This is because if you have other developers advanced add-on aircraft (which most of us do) it will cause FSX to crash (fatal error or CTD) when it loads. It is best to use a simple default FSX aircraft, like the Trike or C172, to avoid this from happening.

When I switch from one advanced add-on to another, I always select one of the default aircraft first, load it, then go and select the next advanced add-on I want to fly and load it. This works 9 times out of 10, on that one where it doesn't work, I get an FSX fatal error. I do this even if I am switching from two different Captain Sim aircraft to avoid this problem because I have had it happen when switching between, for example, the CS757-200 and CS767-300.
