can anybody give me any hints on a good flying location prefferably rural and fieldy just for when im buzzing around in my vintage aircraft and also less than a mile away from a airstrip in flight simulator 10...

The grand canyon (KGCN) is awesome and there is a free photo-realistic terrain mesh available for it on AVSIM as well as a photo-realistic AFCAD of KGCN. 

Renton Washington is another good spot but the regen load can be severe on most systems. The Kenmore flights to the San Juan Islands starts near there and its one of my favorite areas. (NOT RURAL)

Man, can't believe I've never flown out of KGCN yet with FSX.  It was a blast flying the T-6 Texan II through the canyons!

get untimate terrain-X and fly to dutch harbor alaska (PADU)  from Valdez, skim the coast and enjoy the view

I used to fly a Cessna 172 Skyhawk there until the FAA changed the regs to where you had to stay 500 ft above the rim level.  Yes - it was a blast.  Had a bad experience once with density altitude during the summer and trying to climb out - made for a very exciting flight for my passengers even though I was $#!^!*& bricks!

Haha yea I bet the DA there is horrendous some days.  Guess the FAA made that reg because too many people were boring holes into the canyon walls.

The sound reverberations cause landslides I think.

That, and a couple of helicopter tour midairs and probably dozens of near-midairs.  And hikers constantly complaining about the airplanes ruining their nature love-in.
