To create a brand new airport, click anywhere on the airport grounds, at the location where you want your aircraft to spawn.

Flight Plan
Flightplan is a Google Maps flight planning add-on for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. You can use Cockpit Map to take Google Maps in the cockpit with you to use real time terrain elevations, road maps, landmarks, satellite views and street view 3D imagery. Flightplan can also be used to create and share your own flight plans using an interactive drag-and-drop, Google Maps interface.
Download Flightplan and try it yourself – the link is at the bottom of the page. You can also download and fly any of our free flight plans using the Download Link at the top. Load them in MSFS World Map and you are ready to fly.
For more information see the topics below or check out our YouTube channel or FAQ page.
Happy Flying!

Typically, changing from a “more complex” aircraft to a “less complex” aircraft (for example from an A320neo to a Cessna Skyhawk) will not have any noticable change when loading…
