Some months ago a post appeared here advised how to to set up FSX to show place names as you flew over them (they appeared in red). I quite enjoyed having that capability but somehow I've lost it and I'm blowed if I can find that post again to reinstate this item. As I remember it is a special line inserted in the FSX cfg and I'm pretty sure that the keys used to turn it on and off were Control+Shift+P. Accordingly, I would greatly appreciate some advice/instructions to set it up again or where to find it. Thanks in advance.

There is also a commercial (payware) product called FSDiscover that as well as aiports shows place names and names of features like mountains and lakes, parks, landmarks and bridges in FSX and FS9.Tonywww.msfsgateway.com

Gday..many thanks for your reply. I'll download it shortly and get it up an running. Terrific and much appreciated.

Thankyou for advising of the existance of FSDiscover...I'll look into that as well.

There is also xpoi that recently came out..http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=1114.0GeofaMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

Thanks Geofa for the "heads up" on this one...also looks good also

You are welcome-I have them both.Fsdiscover is less intrusive and more fps friendly.Xpoi though is cool graphically and it is cool to click on something and get the info on it right on the screen or from wiki.GeofaMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

I bought it and I was very happy, but since the beginning of this year, it is impossible to have a connection to the Geonames POIS, so do not rush to buy before being sure that these connection problems are only temporary, like FsDreamteam says ... POIS GeoNames being dependent server geonames.org, so impossible to solve this problem by FSDreamteam, which is a shame becausethe program is only interesting for its geographic POISArnoz

Hi FolksTo display airport names -please use the key combo at - FSDeveloper - Wiki - Key Mapping (FSX)Lamont's discovery was prior to the FSX Acceleration release,and the key-combination he selected clashes with FSX Acceleration's native key-mapping.Hal Bryan's FSInsider articleHTHATBPaul

We also did a step-by-step instruction youtube video which you can find here:Create Airport Labels in FSXCheers,Christian
