718: Scenic Spots Close at Hand

| Tom Tsui

No idea where to fly to today?  Here’s the flightspots I ran into this morning which offers suggestions to many scenic places around the world in MSFS.
FlightSpot_001
All you need to do is select the location of your interest, and then copy and paste its coordinates into MSFS.  That’s all.
FlightSpot_002
FlightSpot_003

EDIT: The mouse’s right click doesn’t work in the search bar in MSFS.  Use [Ctrl-V] to paste the coordinates instead.  Use [Ctrl-C] to copy, just in case.

The coordinates should work fine in FSX, P3D and X-Plane, too.

Happy Flying

  1. Just back from a few days of holidays and found this. That’s a really cool finding, just bookmarked it.

    Thanks and kind regards, Michael

      1. Hi Tom…dove into FlightSpots yesterday…unfortunately, I found several instances
        of: inaccurate location co-ordinates (many visible to the naked eye); and
        location coordinates that are not near the intended scenery making it very
        difficult to find the intended scenery…I have contacted the developer and
        I hope he will look into it and fix things…I’m not sure he has been verifying
        that the submitted co-ordinates are accurate before posting…still, a great site
        which I hope will only get better….

      2. Yeah, I found the same on some locations as well.
        But as you said, it is still a great site to find exciting locations.
        Glad that you report it to the developer.

      1. Hi Tom…trying to use FlightSpots…I can copy their coordinates
        off their website but, for some reason, cannot paste them into
        MSFS…I looked online a bit but not help…any thoughts?…I am running
        MSFS store bought on a powerful gaming computer under W-10 fully
        updated, in windowed mode and using Developer mode…a mystery

        Any help will be appreciated…

        Thanks, John H., Houston, TX, USA
