Default Airports

No matter how I exit MSFS, my default airports never change. Can that be fixed?

What do you mean they never change? YWhat do you mean with ’ they never cnage’?? You can set any airport in the world map?

When I start a new flight, I have to choose an airport. I go to the pull-down and see a list of airports. There are 3 on top, which I presume are my favorites. I understood that as I use other airports, the top three change to reflect recently used airports. That upper list never changes.

i noticed that too, generally I just keep a list of icao airport codes hand KSFO KLAX etc, and type the search field for where I want to go. It does have a few of my favourites in the list but places like Brazzaville also appear here, and Ive never flown or been there nor know where it is

I can select the airport manually but it would be nice if it would save my favorites.

yes ill check this out, because I tend to fly from my favourites Washington National, Vegas $$$ LAX SFO Gatwick Munich a lot.

i noticed something , the first three are history the rest are recommended, and scrolling through them I notice that airports Ive bought or downloaded appear here. Like the Free Aerosoft Paderborn. Or airports that came with my deluxe version appear here too.

I wish the history option was longer than just 3 the load save option below allows you to save flights

The airports that are my “favorites” are airports I used soon after I initially installed MSFS. They have never changed.

well there is history, and recommendations but not a favourite option. the third one Kcda on my list appeared yesterday when I bought it and flew from it, so it has changed for me.

Cant you just select an aiport from the map?

That’s how i select it. And then if i want to start cold&dark i select a gate from the topdown menu, or i click on the airport, zoom and select a gate. Then the airport is in the topdown menu for a while

Of course. There are multiple ways to select an airport. I would just like to have the airports I use most often to appear as the top three.

Just enter the ICAO code in the search TAB, it takes you the the correct airport.

I am aware of that. My question is why don’t my favorite airports appear at the top of the list

The only way that would work is to create a flight plan with departure/arrival and save it then just load that f/p.

I agree and also the ability to insert airports I use
