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.
