Do you mean FSDiscover?http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=fsdisc

This link might be useful also:http://www.simpilotnet.com/index.php?optio...1&Itemid=32It shows how to set up FSX to display Airport Labels as you fly near them.Rather cool.

[Guest UlfB]

That was a good tip, Opa! Thanks!

Doesn't Shift+N bring up those labels in FSX?

Not on my setup which is FSX Deluxe with Ser Paks 1 and 2.Perhaps it does with Acceleration - but I do not have that so cannot confirm.

I think everyone is right... I remember at least two payware products, and a freeware solution. I didn't follow the link, but I believe that in order to make the freeware version work you have to manually edit an entry in FSX. There are threads on this on AVSIM somewhere.Jeff ShylukSenior Staff ReviewerAVSIM

No. I used the tip posted by Opa and it works OK. This command isn't listed in the FSX Control Settings, but it works perfectly well. Good tip!

That was great. Thanks for sharing, Opa.

I tried this and couldn't get it to work. I can see the entry in the Controls.file but nothing happens when I press Shift+J. Any ideas.

Are you in the air (flying) when you try the Shifted J key combination?You won't see anything if you are on the ground.It works like a charm for me.

I found my problem. I had the entry in the wrong part of the file. Once corrected, all is well.
