I suppose it depends on what your interests are; I really like the Hunter and it's pretty vice-free and easy to fly. Obviously you then need airfields with a reasonably sized runway though, not tiny grass strips! If you're interested in gaining your PPL, maybe the default Cessna or something similar would be best. > I also downloaded what I thought was the scenery > for my area w130n40 but do not see Lampson Field (1O2) > or Sutter Lakeside hospital helipad (CL69) in the > list. I've just downloaded w130n30 and I have scenery at Lampson Field so I presume that's the one you want. I seem to recall that FG comes with a small section of that tile by default; I never fly in that part of the world except to use the carrier! One thing that I don't quite understand though is you not seeing Lampson Field in the FG list - I can only assume this is not the list within FG itself (you can select an airfield from the Location/Select Airport from list) but instead something in the Windows front end? You should be able to specify your field by identifier and go there whether or not you have the scenery installed - if you don't you'll just be sitting in the sea. I don't think your helipad is listed at all though. You should be able to check through the apt.dat.gz file with a text editor and see what is and isn't listed.
