When doing freelance missions in career mode, most of them are nearby your current location but the majority are at an airport a short ways distant. When you choose those missions, it requires you to pay a relocation fee. I’d rather just fly my aircraft from its current location to the start location for the mission.
Perhaps, when you choose a mission and the relocation fee shows up, there could be an option to manually relocate which just sets up a basic flight plan with the departure airport at my current location and the arrival airport at the mission start airport.
That’s probably the easiest fix but the better way would be the ability to just start the mission at your current location, require you to fly to the start point to pick up pax and then continue with the mission as generated. Of course, that’s assuming a mission with passengers. For others, you could just fly directly to the first waypoint from the current airport.
I love the idea of relocating my own plane myself. This is what would be happening in real life.
I woudln’t drive there by train and have my plane flown in by some other pilot, right?
You could charge for some fuel or something to make it even more realistic.
In order to be worth playing over a 3rd party addon, this needs to be added, along with a selection of missions available from every (or most) airports, depending on size. It’s silly that each airport with a mission only has 1 mission, and most airports have none.
People have been asking for that as an option since FS2002 as I recall. I think I remember in FSX, you could save the game after you landed and make that save game file your default flight and then it worked as long as you always remembered to save the flight to the same save file every time.
just found out this isnt an option, don’t get it. I have two missions right near me, and want to reposition to start them and then fly back to my main base. How do they miss this?
