The departure airport has its own view & I was wondering if it's possible to change to the tower view of one's arrival airport on approach, to enjoy those prefect landings ? Cheesy

Sure. Just go to Map, and move the tower icon to where you want it. Select "Tower" to set altitude, etc.

Good luck. you may find that the Tower shows up at whatever your Default Flight location is... if you don't see it at first, zoom way out and you'll find it.

Go to flightsim.com and search the library for autower.zip

This utility automatically moves the tower view to the airport closest to the user aircraft.

cheers,

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
