I wish they would make it so you could fly missions to diffrent citys at a time Like from KLAX to Palm Springs to Denver to New York seems that would be more fun. make more money that way.

You mean stopping and unloading and refueling? That would be nice, but you cant even do that kind of flight plan in FS as far as I know (of course I could be wrong and just dont know how to do it).

You can do it in FS, but not in CP. CP is strictly limited to one flight leg at a time. In my opinion, that's the biggest shortcoming of the program, which really is pretty good overall.
In FS, you can land at an intermediate airport and load the flight plan for the next leg without leaving the sim, or you can start out by putting all the stops in the flight plan as waypoints. If you do the latter, the times, fuel burn and altitude columns will be all wrong and if IFR, the ATC won't work correctly, but the route and waypoints still work.

Yes like an airline with mutiple stops, I know I tried it on CP and I think I didnt get paid because I landed at the wrong airport. Oh well live and learn . I really like the Game.

You can do it in CP but not in one haul. Just open bases at KLAX, Palm Springs, Denver and New York. At KLAX search for cargo to Palm springs, finish that flight and make a new flight with cargo for KDEN etc. etc. I flew around the world this way
And I agree with allardjd that outside CP you easaly can make a flightplan with multiple airports, just insert them as waypoints or VOR's

We had a sticky thread on the old forum, requesting what we'd love to see in CP2 (if it were to ever come out), and I think that was one of the things we'd love to see.
Now, if we could just get that sticky back. |

You can do it in FS? Every time I set a waypoint at an airport the ATC goes bonkers when I try and land. |

An airport as a waypoint is more of a positional fix, especially numerous low- and high altitude airways originate from them. |
