Favorite places to fly?

What are your favorite destinations/departure location on Flight Sim?  For me it's Hawaii. I spend about 90% of my FS time there. What about you?

That's a tricky one. I've enjoyed some rw weather Alaska with the 707 Cargo lately and I also enjoy tours in the summer Spain with some GA plane. Not too long ago I did a round trip in Australia with all sorts of planes, just not really fast ones.
Hawaii is pretty nice too. I have freeware scenery and the FSDT airports and flew a lot small airliner and turboprop tours there.

I don't have a favourite.  Tongue

Me thinks you will enjoy MS Flight and its one Hawaiian island! The Hawaiian pack is supposed to be cheap, so you'll do well. Tongue
Nah! Just kidding. Wink

Most of my flights involve flying around Australia. Or from Australia to New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Hawaii and the West Coast of the USA and return flights.

Occasionally I head for UK/Europe for some flights.

I don't have a favourite departure/destination location. It's more fun to fly around world.

Oh no, it's true...LOL Grin Grin

But I flew a few times on a small FS plane (Cessna 172) around mount Pinatubo, an active volcano, departing from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL). The mount is located about 40/50 miles (65/80 km) northwest of Manila, the capital of the Philippines.


Below, a Google pic, taken from 6,000 feet over the southern flank of Mt. Pinatubo:

I may be biased - as I live in NZ - but, for me, New Zealand has it all.

Mountains, lakes, volcanoes, steep valleys, some flat green bits ... and a wealth of scenery add-ons for FS9/FSX.

Europe as a whole is good. Nice scenery, lots of large airports, plenty of nav and other planes, what more do you want?

yep. it's kinda cool place. but i just sticked to usa-canada. snowy canada looks so...hmm...clean or something. This is good experience, to fly there now. weather usually bad, snow, turbulence, winds.

Yesterday i made my first flight online (VATSIM), in cs 707-300C. i flew kpdx - cywg with radio navigation. hit the jetstream at 35000 and saved a lot of time. landed at winnipeg at dusk, there was some high clouds...mmm...nice picture.
Guys, i was shocked! thats cool. and i was scared a lot. my english speech aint cool. well, at least i hope ATC in KSEA had some fun listening how i trying to say something Smiley

P.S. that jetstream saved my butt, and about 88000 lbs of cargo Smiley I messed up fuel calculations, and spent more fuel on ground before takeoff. offcourse hand flying up to 18000 ft and below 12000 ft + ATC + checklists....mmm...kinda big workload. So i got my friend coming to fly with me CYWG - KORD next week  Cool
