Hi
when FG starts up i love the menu screen that is offered - an easy whey to set airports and aircraft and settings. once i go to fly, i cant find any way to get back to this menu, is there a way to do this? hitting escape just exits the game

While you can not select another aircraft without exiting FlightGear, you can chose another airport. This will probably mess up some aircraft though.

I have not tested it myself, but some users work around those limitations by using a 3rd party launcher. FFGo seem to be a popular choice. As I understand it, it will be there when you exit FlightGear, making choosing another aircraft a bit less tedious.

Unfortunately for now the AI traffic is not developed far enough to be aware that you are there. In addition if there is problems with the underlying description of the parkings and taxiways they tend to bunch up.

If you are too annoyed by it you can turn off the AI traffic by unchecking Enable AI traffic in Main Menu > AI > Traffic and Scenario Settings.
