I don't seem to be able to permanently save my status on the
disk.  If I set myself up at, say, Santa Monica airport and use
the "save and name" option to save as "santa monica", I do
indeed see "santa monica" on the "restore" menu for the
duration of the session.  But the next time I boot, the saved
data is gone and does not appear on the menu.  Am I missing
some obvious procedure here?

By the way, I feel that Southern California geography got
slighted by Microsoft.  We're pretty flat, but not *that* flat!
If Manhattan can show  Central Park why can't LA's Griffith Park
be visible?  The lack of ground references besides Marina Del
Rey and some freeways is a (minor) annoyance.  (they could have
at least included the "Fly Quietly" sign on the Santa Monica
approach).  Oh well, I guess they lavished all their bytes on
the SF Bay area.
