Display airport names (HOW TO)

[Guest dswo]

Did you know that FSX can be tweaked to display airport names? If you've got FSDiscover! then you've already seen something similar, but this tweak is free: http://lc0277.nerim.net/wiki/index.php?Dis...airport%20namesThank you to Lamont Clark for writing about it.

Thanks! After adding it and going through the commands list I just realized I had overlooked the fact that aircraft labels can also be turned on and off with a key stroke.

Sorry to be a dumbo chaps but I have never modded an XML file before and I don't seem to be able to get that block into the file either by typing it or pasting it. Do you have to do it in a particular way?

Wow!!I was looking for that exact function from day one!Kudos out to Lamont!

[Guest SkullxBones]

Open the XML file with notepad and edit it like any other text.

Phil, I find it baffling that the existence of this feature is apparently a surprise to you (considering you are the lead PM at Aces). How can that be?? :-lol-Rick----------- My System -----------P4 @ 2.53 GHz / 1GB RAM / NVIDIA GeForce 6800XT, 256MB / Windows XP Home

The breadth and depth of the product is amazing, that is how. I am regularly turning up tidbits I was not aware of. Think of it like this, given I am still "individual PM" for Graphics and Terrain ( a team of 10 ) as well as Lead PM for Core ( a team of 60 ). Is it reasonable to expect 1 person to keep in their head the work of 60? If you think so, send us a resume :-).

Looking for something in another thread, I ran across a file I saved by Bob Church. It has this airport command and several commands not in the Sim.See this post:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=442830&page=
