Unable to switch from default airport

Postby Aviator6 » Mon Mar 07, 2022 10:22 pm

Windows 7, Nvidia GTS 450
If I switch from the default airport, and I've tried several different airports, I always end up in the water or in a field of grass. Never on the runway or even close to it. Am I missing something on how to switch to another airport?

"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

I’m having the exact same issue. Did you ever find out what it was?

Did you turn on Terrasync (download scenery automatically) in the launcher settings?
