Hi Chris, welcome to SimV.
Well the best way to do his is decide where you want to go, and then look it up on the internet. You'll normally find a map or it'll tell you the nearest airport, that is how I do it, adds to the adventure Wink

One payware packagae that I like is Abacus' EZ-Landmark V1.2 "This utility displays the "Easter eggs" and points of interest. Identifies more than 1.5+ million sites as you fly. "

You can also add to its database of locations.

I've seen it in stores, but you can also order online.

Sometimes, you must ADD the scenery (as I had to with the Mackinac Bridge) Again, the best tactic is to look for an Airport on the map.

Here are some screenshots.

Thanks a lot,I've tried this tool and i like it!
Just one question,what are "Easter eggs"?
Are they special buildings or sights that can only be visible under certain conditions?If so,how can I tell if it's
a "Easter egg" or just a ordinary building?Cause all I can
see is lots of "red landmarks description" when I use the
tool...

"Easter Eggs" are little gems that M$ programmers will put into thier program.
Example is in one flight sim I don't remember which and belive someone once posted shots of it here was when flying over a city in the UK with the sim set at a certain date and time you'll see a dinosaur (Godzilla like) rampaging through the city.
If I recall someone also posted a list of some in FS9 here awhile back???

Hi Chris, welcome

One example of an Easter Egg: Fly near the Statue of Liberty, With a date/ time of Dec 31, any year, 23:59:00, local, and watch as the time rolls to 00:00:00.

Only one I remember off hand.

Cheers,
Dave
