Here's a few shots from Premium's "quickly made, zero detail, terrible" Frankfurt EDDF, as conveyed to someone coming from FSX, pardon the compression:

A lot better than the default scenery. At least I can recognize the real airports. Wouldn't pay $10-15 for it, as in high-end add-ons, but it's definitely worth a couple of bucks each. I guess that's what you wanted to show with your shots, and I agree.

- You position your camera in the cockpit,

- then do a CNTRL-ALT-<number> to ask MSFS to save the position

- then bind a button/switch on a joystick or throttle quadrant to Load Custom Camera <number you chose>  in the Control Options panel>Camera>Cockpit camera

Easy enough

I just need to figure it out.  It's not intuitive to me.

To each their own according to their needs.  Since I don't really know what EDDF looks like in RL I can only contrast against default, or from FSX default from whence the OP has recent experience in. Even default airports are far better in MSFS than in the prior sims of this lineage.  I'm so focused on flying to score well in A Pilot's Life I'm not going to pay a lot of attention to finer details one might find in some 3rd party airports I'm way to focused on procedures and work flow etc.  I appreciate the work it must take to create a real masterpiece of fidelity to the RW, but it's going to be a bit lost on me.  Since launch I've only purchased maybe 7 airports, and one I uninstalled because the performance impact was not worth the added fidelity.  And frankly the other 6 I haven't used practically since purchasing.  KLAS by FT is one I do use when flying in NA.  Right now I'm flying for Singapore Airlines, with this lusciousness:spacer.png

A program that will let you see how good or bad a pilot you are.

That, and a great way to add some structure to get you flying all over the world to airports you may never have considered, per your preference if you decide to apply to and are hired by any airlines.  You are flying the airlines actual routes, w/ control over distance.

I already got hired by a level 2 airline, now flying in Algeria. Great way to hone pilot skills and see the entire world.
