Are there tower shots from a FS2004 product?

@charliearon No bro, that's definitely fsx. Its been a week when I uninstalled FS2004 from my PC. Now the only sim I have is FSX.

OK, let me rephrase the question......I know your Sim is FSX!  Is the tower that you are looking out of a product of FS2004?  I see that it says cockpit view meaning this is an aircraft made to resemble a control tower.

Was your tower an addon feature to your Sim?

No bro. No tower addon, Simple default fsx tower. Nothing like that.

But the only difference is that I am not online in Multiplayer. There is a trick to play fsx as ATC and monitor AI traffic sitting in the tower :

Hi Harsh,

Just sending you the following instructions for you to check against what you've done, as I'm unsure why you can't see through the Tower windows.

From the "Multiplayer" menu choose the "Local Network(LAN)" option. Put your Name there and hit the "Sign In" button.
After the "Mutilplayer " screen comes up, click on "Host a Session".
On the "Multiplayer - Session Information" screen, select which "Session Availability" and click Next.
You should now be looking at the Multiplayer version of the FreeFlight setup menu.
In the "Select Role" menu select "Air Traffic Controller".
Setup a flight as you normally would offline (Airport, Weather, Time).  Then "Save" the flight with a name that differentiates from a normal flight. 
From this point DO NOT hit the "Next" button. Instead, back all the way out to the regular non-multiplayer FreeFlight menu. Under your saved flight menu you should now have your saved control tower view flight. Hopefully, when you open the Saved Tower Flight view at the Airport, you should see everything normal.

You can use your Zoom keys, Hat Switch, etc. to move around the Tower.  And the Radar should be serviceable as well.

I winded up with these tower/spotter addons from some product I purchased.

The towers range in different sizes, can be placed anywhere and have controls/functions inside of them with clear windows.

Now question is...what product were they included with?🤣
