Definitely not, no more so than I always fly in real time, never use time accel, etc.  To my mind, the entire point of the sim is that it removes these types of real-world restrictions.

Restrictions? What in the world is the restrictions you refer to. Right now on the World page for flight planning the restriction for departure airports is the past three airports you departed from.  That is a clear restriction in offered flight planning departure points. Only where you just flew to.  How is a different offering more restrictive than that?  What would be the issue with presenting in the departure list a short list of user-defined "favorite" airports? Not sure the question was understood.

Nope - I just fly where I have scenery - I really dislike default airports.  Sometimes I fly to show off new scenery or an airplane.

????  The question in this topic had nothing to do with default airports.  It had to do with recent departures vs arrivals.  Either of those could be either default or addon.

Sure it was - you asked if my last arrival was my next departure.  For me, I've never even considered doing that, because that would be placing a restriction on where I was starting from - restricting my departure to the last point of arrival.  That seems bizarre to me.  I'm not saying anyone else shouldn't do it, just offering my own thoughts as one data point.

Only when I fly some of the IVAO or VATSIM tours. If I fly offline I fly wherever I feel like.

That's understandable.  The question of this topic however is what could be presented in the World screen flight planner as what is listed at the top of the list for next departure.  If you wish to fly from somewhere completely different it is fully understood you use the search box. This question is only about what appears in the short list (3) of airports listed at the top.

???  There is no restriction in the short list at the top. As it currently exists you can enter the code for any airport you wish in the separate search bar and then proceed.  The suggestion does nothing to remove that search bar.  What then is the restriction?  What is presented in the top three entries presents absolute zeo restriction. It is only a short list of selections, It is separate from the search bar, so that is not a restriction.  The question is that in that list, why the list presents the three most recent destinations when those destinations are for many instead the logical starting point, or departure point for the subliquent flights.  That present zero restriction as the search window would still be present..

I'm not sure why we're talking about a menus?  Maybe I missed something; I didn't read the whole thread, just the question you asked, which didn't mention any menus?

Choosing to only depart from where I last landed -as you asked - would be me putting a (to my mind) bizarre restriction on myself.  I don't personally see what the value would be in that, that's all.

That is nothing near what I asked.  "only depart from".  Not even in the universe of the question I posed.  My suggestion does absolutely nothing to restrict.  It is only about the short list of three airports that are presented.  The search window is still present for selecting any airport anyone wishes.  I am totally preplexed at why you intrepret my suggestion as restricting users to the last airport they landed at.  That was absolutely not in my suggestion.  Only speaking to that separate short list of what is listed for quick selection at the top.

The question is in the title.  With how you fly MSFS, is where you fly to the point you depart from with your next flight.  As in real world?

That's literally the entire question you asked.

No, I don't depart from where I last landed. For each flight I look for a destination with an interesting STAR or approach, or at least IFR weather. I then pick my departure based on the time I have available for the flight.

What do you mean?  You asked if I depart from a previous destination.  I said I just fly wherever I want, and I fly based on whether or not I've got freeware or payware scenery for that departure airport and/or destination.

Your original question, much like the title, didn't mention the short list or menus at all.

Thus you are getting answers to the question you actually asked, rather than people talking about the short list, which it now seems is what you want to talk about.

Original post:
"With how you fly MSFS, is where you fly to the point you depart from with your next flight.  As in real world"

Where did I say choosing to ONLY depart from?   All I asked is shouldn't that airport last flown into be among those in the suggested list of departures for the next flight.  There is no "only" in that queston.  Its merely please list it as a choice rather than instead listing again the last three airports you flew out of.

Yes. Why list just the last three airports flown-away-from as suggestions for the next departure.  Instead at least the last airport you flew to in the suggestions.  Never said list only that airport.   There is inclusion in the question, not restriction.

About 75% of the time.
