Hi from a P3D Newbie. Is there any way to keep a particular Country/ Region without having to scroll through all countries when I go to the Airport selection screen? What I mean can I keep a country FILTER open?

Hi Newbie: Most pilots in simulation and real world know the identity of an airport by its ICAO code. Passengers will refer to a location by City and State or Region but such political divisions do not even exist on aeronautical charts. The airport selection screen is laid out to favor the ICAO code entry, notice that is the location of the cursor when you open the selection screen. Determining the code is very easy, in most cases a simple Wikipedia search will do the job.
