FSX Spotter

FSX Spotter places a dedicated “spotter” aircraft at an airport’s active runway so runway-side viewing feels purposeful and immersive in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Use slew briefly to move clear of traffic, then watch AI arrivals and departures from adjustable viewpoints, ideal for plane-spotting sessions at any time of day.

The add-on that is meant for everyone who likes to spot the active runway of his favorite airport to watch departing and arriving aircraft. By Peter Ceyssens.

Installation:

  • Just click on the fsx spotter.exe (installer).
  • It is a silent installer that install the add-on directly.
  • Location: (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Aimulator X\Simobjects\Misc\FSX Spotter).

  • Create a flight.
  • Select an aircraft. Look for 'spot ltd spotty". Click ok.
  • Select your favorite airport & select the active runway.
  • Select a day/hour for maximum experience. Start flight!

In FSX you see you stand on the active runway (in cockpit view). Click 'Y" for activate the slew-mode and pitch your joystick backwards. That you are away from the runway (otherwise you see no aircrafts because she have no clearance!) Click again 'y" for de-activate the slew-mode. Now you can enjoy the spotty-mode in FSX & spot every aircraft that will land & take-off from the runway. You can with the view-axes change your view positions from the runway.
