Another alternative would be to take longer flights, but do them in short hops. I suppose what really matters is what folks want to gain from these flights. If one is looking to learn to make flight plans, there's something to be said for flying to familiar airports when you're first starting out (and you don't need to get new charts all of the time either--an advantage). Of course flying to unfamiliar destinations is helpful once you get the basics down. > Could takeoff > weight account for the speed and climb performace differences we have > been experiencing? It's possible, but I think the main problem we've been having is low power from the lack of leaning mixtures at high altitudes. > I think the multiplayer room is set up to generate random weather > conditions and feed them to us with changes on the half hour.

Just FYI, weather is generated based on weather systems. What we've got running is pretty mild. We can bump it up a notch of two if any one is game, but I'm afraid that'll leave the VFR guys grounded.
