Free flight default map location

Hi guys,

I have this weird issue where, when I select “Free flight”, the map puts me next in the Pacific, next to the US.

I then have to move the map around until I find my airport (usually french ones).

Did I miss any settings regarding the default location ? This didn’t happen in FS2020.

Thank you.

I am not in front of my PC but I think it is the default location when you enter free flight and until you select a departure airport, so not a bug. Sim doesn’t know your location.
Nevertheless there an issue if you’ve selected a departure airport and then customize your aircraft: Customising a plane resets the map view location to 0,0

That’s an issue that doesn’t exists in FS2020.
Maybe there should be an option to remember last area ?
Also, thank you for moving the thread accordingly, much appreciated !
