b) (INIT) Set a cost index (2), and cruising height (160)
c) (PERF) Set an appropriate take-off flaps configuration (e.g. 1)
d) (PERF) Select the relevant ‘v’ speeds for take-off (v1, v2, v3)

  • Turn on No Smoking Sign

  • Turn on Seat Belt Sign

I don’t think MSFS is designed for multiple-legged flights per session. It’s always been like that. I always end a flight, then start a new flight from the same gate if I want to fly out again.

It’s an option but I’d rather not have the wait of having to go through that, although I eventually end up with a CTD - luckily normally at the end of a flight recently.

Ironically it didn’t happen on my last flight, so it seems that it’s not every time.
