tips & tricks

Were you one of the simmers who kept a close eye on the FSX feature list months before it was released? Then you might remember that in the middle of bump-mapping, the living world, and missions was another very exciting feature. This feature stated that it would be possible to split the ATC chatter from the external aircraft sounds. With FSX you could wear a headset and while the sound of the engine roared through your speakers, ATC would communicate with you through the headset. With FSX you would be able to listen to ATC through your headset just like in a real aircraft! How cool is that?

FSX has a very cool hidden feature - you can enable floating airport names over each visible airport. This is really useful when you don't know the area you're flying in very well, but want to know where the closest airports are. Perfect for discovering new airports or finding airports that you want to land at. We created a little easy to follow tutorial that shows you step by step how you can enable these hidden airport labels.

If you have ever participated in a screenshot competition, you probably know that there usually seem to be a couple of screenshots that really stand out from the crowd. Some people just seem to have the same gift like da Vinci or van Gogh, while others just don't seem to have a clue.
