olderndirt Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The other day I was out ginning around in a hopticopter and couldn't find the Blackpool Tower. Now that I've reshuffled my scenery_pack.ini (52 + joker), here's that POI for your perusal. Bit of a takeoff on the Eiffel but nice. There's another in Paris TX - not so tall but with a Stetson on top. A wheel landing - touched down on my shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is cool OND! I wish XP had coordinates to display like P3D does because I'd like to find this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That first one is a really incredible shot, OnD, and also is a wonderful advert for the product - an incredible piece of scenery really. Mind you, the second one really gets that you nailed that landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Settings, Data output and tick the checkbox item 20 You will then get this info showing (updates in real time) : XPlane has a very extensive list of items that can all be displayed on screen/sent to files or external data connections (home cockpits etc) -- probably more than most other simulators. You can cascade them if you wish (I suppose fill the screen with stuff if you so desired) See you and have fun exploring Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
