You even do not need to have the Sceneries installed for that Starting-Position! ''(But if the scenery is not available you will see nothing but a big blue water around you – wherever you are! Of course you could load that scenery then by [[TerraSync]]'') | ||
If you are flying just by yourself (i.e. without having [[Howto: Multiplayer|Multiplayer]] activated) you may just choose an airport and leave it up to FlightGear to place you somewhere onto a runway. That is the most easiest procedure at all – but absolutely unrealistic – '''and if done, while others are around, it is absolutely recklessness against those already there!''' Because if you start FlightGear with the [[Howto: Multiplayer|MP-Options]] directly on a runway you cannot watch for somebody being there already, or being on short final to it, or if there is an [[:Howto: Be a controller|ATC]] who may start to dislike you a lot, or … or ...! Best is you just use proper procedures and always start at a parking-position, gate, or terminal when you are not alone! That way you even have the advantage of getting accustomed to the controls and instruments again while taxiing to the runway. | If you are flying just by yourself (i.e. without having [[Howto: Multiplayer|Multiplayer]] activated) you may just choose an airport and leave it up to FlightGear to place you somewhere onto a runway.

This is even worse than the above! To all that bad happenings from before you are now even prone to start in a different direction to the other traffic! And thus those others would not just use even worse words – they would even laugh about you, that “stupid that does not know that you must start against the wind!” | This is even worse than the above!
